There are several areas in Ghent where students live. The price of a room, flat or studio varies according to the neighbourhood and the type of accommodation (studios and flats are more expensive). Some institutions have their own student residences. Only a small number of Ghent students live in one of these residences. Contact the housing service of your host institution for more information. It is essential to start looking for accommodation at least 4 months before the start of your stay!
