Studying in Belgium?

Question

I'm planning on studying in Belgium after high school to do Business Administration. I want to study in Brussels Business School. Unfortanately, I don't know much about Belgium nor the school. Can somebody tell me what its like living there. Is the school good? Is it cheap city or will cost me much money. The language not really an issue because French (not fluently, though). Any information would be helpful. Oh, and I will be an international student. I live in the US.

Answer 1

In addition to the previous post, check out this article about Belgium. It should give you a pretty good idea about the country, its culture, food, visas, etc:

Answer 2

I live in Brussels and had not heard about this school, is it the Solvay business school or is it asttached to one of the two big universities here ?? (VUB or ULB?)

Looking at the mad it is not in a good part of town but of course that can mislead. brussels is expensive by US standards -we pay our interns about 1000 EUR a month (about 1400US$) and they can JUST manage but we do a lot for free for them too...but if you will do this remote just see who accredits it...if you have to do assignments in french do not underestimate the knowledge of the language you need but the site is in english so I guess they wil do this in english too... as i say, make sure you see who accredits this school and cross check with the local educatyion authority....Flying in here is not too bad, DC, NY, Chicago and Atalnata all have direct flights

adding on ....

if they are new they will not have much of a reputation, but its your money ...

and doing french at school and being taught in it are not just a language thing, my daughter is taught in french although she is british and it is amazing what a different view french teachers have of history, economics, art, chemistry even and how they teach maths... be very very sure they look at content from an anglophile perspective   !!
