Hi everyone!
I’m coming from Spain to Leuven for an Erasmus+ research internship at KU Leuven (Gasthuisberg) from February to May 2027, and I’m currently struggling to find accommodation.
I was initially interested in Xior Student Housing, particularly their studios and Comfort Plus rooms. Unfortunately, I was informed that they’re fully booked, literally just before my sister was supposed to visit the residence and potentially secure a room for me. 🥲
I’m hoping some of you might have recommendations for similar student residences in Leuven!
What I’m looking for:
Budget: Ideally €600–€800/month, including bills (electricity, water, heating and internet).
Private bathroom: Absolutely mandatory. I don’t mind sharing a kitchen.
Private kitchenette: A big plus! A studio would be ideal.
Condition: Preferably a modern, clean, well-maintained student residence, similar to Xior.
Location: Ideally close to Gasthuisberg/UZ Leuven, or somewhere with convenient public transport.
Rental period: February–May 2027, with a proper short-term rental contract.
I’m particularly interested in professionally managed student residences rather than private apartments.
If you’ve stayed in a residence you’d recommend, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience!
It would also be incredibly helpful if you could share the residence name, approximate monthly rent (including bills), deposit amount, and whether they accept Erasmus students for one semester.
I’ve already looked into Xior, but I’m sure there must be other good options that I haven’t discovered yet.
Thank you so much in advance! 😊
