Rent is bigger component of the living cost here..
if you dont mind a student cot or sharing it with someone(even better), i will recommend that to reduce rent component ..i think 1350 should be okay for 1 person..

Yes. You will get around 1220 euro, if my convertor is right.

Rent is between let s say 350 for something modest and 600 for something fancy.

You will spend around 200 or 250 euro on food, depending on what kind of food you want, and considering you will not abuse eating on restaurants.

So the rest...will be ok.

But don t expect a life of luxury with this money.

I get 1400 euro and I don t afford luxury...but as you said I m not starving.

When you are in Antwerp, hit me up on e mail davidd.keith@yahoo.com
