Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Campus is nice and green and accessible by public transport (train, tram and bus). Sport facilities are available nearby and on campus. University buildings are old and need renovation.

My 'almost' two years studying at VUB are among the best years of my life in academics, professional and personal development. As an international student, VUB Etterbeek campus was like my home away from home. Staff, Professors and Mentors were just perfectly supportive and amazing. Thank you VUB for all the great memories!

The VUB has a beautiful campus and nice atmosphere. It is not as big as all the other universities in Belgium, so you can build a more personal relationship with lecturers and fellow students, and you can count on a more personalised study guidance when needed.

While in Brussels, I crashed into a friend’s apartment who attends VUB. I should say, the University is world-class, very scenic and located at the heart of the city. They amenities that are international student-friendly and a lot of ongoing developments in the campus. I haven’t really explored their academic offerings but for the student experience, I think this university has all the amenities.
