Then I came back for more, as a master's student. Wrong decision! Especially if one is living in Brussels and studying in Leuven.. Considering also the financial limitations (no more EU money) it didn't work out well.
However this year is different. It started different and it will continue like this, I'm sure. Now, I'm pursuing a second master's degree in Brussels, living in Brussels! Instead of living alone in a dark attic, now I have a room in a student kot with big windows and a balcony! I pay less, I'm closer to the city center, however I'm much more uncomfortable coming back home at night with high heels... ehmm... whatever, I pay less!
I once read that one has to be patient about living in Brussels. This city may seem (and actually is) boring as hell especially if you are coming from a Mediterranean or Latin American country. For a looong long time you may not be able to find anything to do if you don't have enough friends (and believe me, making friends here is one of the hardest things ever). However, if you wait long enough, you may start to like Brussels. But first of all you must shake that depressive mood off - which may take years.
