New student from University of Antwerp is looking for friends!

Welcome to Expat.com, Neringa!
Maybe a check on the Antwerpse Classifieds -> accomodation section would help?

Thank you, FeeAcer Hope it will help!

My husband is a student there, but in language, not economics. If you need someone to show you around town, we'd be glad to help.

Hello, Melby! Nice to meet you Is your husband studying in the City Campus? Thanks for your offer, I will have it in my mind

Regards,
Neringa

Yeah. He started there last year, transferred there when we moved out here together.

That's great I guess U both live somewhere in the centre of Antwerp. Maybe U know any cheap appartment or a girl living in the centre who wants to share a flat?

Er, we're married, so we live together. We live not far from the center, yeah. You could try checking on Couchsurfing.com in the Antwerp group, both if anyone knows a good place to look, or if anyone is looking for roommates. There's a girl there whose roommate recently moved to another country so she's looking for someone: couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=28395&post=5850648
Also check on
opkotingent.be/
easyroommate.com/
immoweb.be
Someone has said: "There is also a special site for student housing called studentkotweb.be/ but you will need a password from the institution you will be studying at. University of Antwerp: reinhilde.vanmoer@ua.ac.be (email)"
and also "check the website from Century 21, Era or Sinjoor."
and Co-housing / finding roommates:
samenhuizen.be (Dutch, needs registering for making contact)
deeljehuis.animo-jonglinks.be.kamala.priorweb.be/

Hope that helps.

Melby, U must be an angel Thank u very much - i will try all these links and hope to find anything suitable for me By the way, I have already sent the request for "Studentkotweb" - waiting for their reply I will let u know when I find a place to live in Antwerp - we must meet in September!

Best wishes,
Neringa

You're quite welcome, I hope you find somewhere that works for you! If you're good with a roommate I'd definitely try looking into that couchsurfing.org link, I've never met her but I know she's on there a lot and is friendly (on there as well as in person) with a number of people, plus you'd see the references on her profile from all the people she's met, pretty good way to find a roommate! haha.

Sure, just keep in touch and I'd be happy to meet up.

I have already wrote that girl, still waiting for her reply I have also read her profile - I think it would be really fun to live with her - she seems very outgoing person

Yeah, I'm definately ok with a roommate - for financial and communicative aspects it would be cheaper and also I don't like idea of living alone

I am very grateful for your help

Have a nice evening!

Neringa

Nice, I hope it works out! heh yeah, plenty of housing isn't very expensive here, but being able to halve the price is certainly always beneficial! =P And yeah I can imagine it would be good to have a roommate, being new to the area and everything, nice not to have to go back to an empty place always, a little security and such!

You're welcome, I'm happy to help.

Fee, Shane is a spammer account, the account should be removed, along with their bogus posts.

I just arrived in Antwerp a week ago. How's your experience so far?
