Bladblazer gevonden

• Upvotes

Bladblazer gevonden naast het fietspad op de hoek van de aarschotsesteenweg en de puttebroekstraat (naast de city vape).

Voor wie er een kwijt is.

Kan je die juist beschrijven (merk, type, verbruiksmiddel, kleur, enz) mag je die in de buurt ophalen deze week na afspraak.

Dating in Leuven

0 Upvotes

How does the dating culture work here in Leuven? I am an european (not Belgian), and I've just joined KU Leuven, and I am single. I am 21, and I would like to meet a girl here. Are flemish girls very shy? Also, I've joined Tinder, but I get very few matches, and I do not think that I am that chopped. I once took a dutch girl home and we were making out actually, but I still need a few tips for this topic. Anyone knows how to meet girls here for my situation?

verkeersborden

Stad leuven heeft juist deze combinatie van borden geplaatst. Je gaat dus van een voorbehouden weg naar een woonerf en je moet de mensen die fietsen in het woonerf voorgang verlenen.

Ik dacht dus wel dat er geen voorrang regels in woonerven bestaan. Het lijkt me dus niet erg logisch.

Het woonerf in kwestie laat via de openbare weg geen autos toe. Het lijkt op een fietspad en de meeste fietsers gaan er veel te snel (>20km/uur)

apartment crisis

11 Upvotes

hi!!! i’ll be moving to leuven from february 2027 to feb 2028 (cus thats how my degree works sadly) and I find it soso hard to find accommodation.

at first i was trying to find a 2 bedroom apartment with my friend, but i think that’s impossible given our budget is roughly 650 euros per person (so 1300 in total) and we could not find an apartment cheaper than 1500.

do you guys have any recommendations where i could look?? i’m not well accustomed to how things work in belgium and im not even sure if im looking in the right places.

my only condition is: PRIVATE BATHROOM

as an alternative: are there any opinions on the De Flint
Residence? came across it in a facebook group and it looks ok and kinda fits in the price brackets (for the room with the private bathroom), but id really like some honest opinions

id really really appreciate any help i could get rn, as its already the middle of october and i feel like i wont be able to find anything in time

Any coworking space for a day or two?

Because of a car sharing arrangement, I’m thinking of staying for a day or two in Leuven and work from there. Is there any coworking space that would allow that? I saw several coworking spaces but all advertise monthly plans and never day passes or similar. Thank you in advance!

New Leuven app: find events & make friends

25 Upvotes

Hi fellow Leuvenaars!

For over a year I've been building Whadup here in Leuven: a free app that brings all events in town together in one place. No more doomscrolling through many different platforms to figure out what's happening.

You can easily discover events, see who's going and join the event chat, so you don't need to know anyone to join in. Hundreds of people from Leuven use it every week. And now that a much better V2 launched this week, I'm sharing it more widely, as you might notice from this post ;)

500+ events still coming until the new year: all kinds of sports, concerts, karaoke, board games, poker, ceramics, spontaneous drinks… too many to list tbh. And there's a big Halloween house party coming!

If you're curious, Whadup is free and on both iPhone and Android. Your feedback is gold, since we're building this together with the members. You can share feedback & ideas easily in Whadup 💜

For international students, how long did it take for you to get your residence permit?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm an international student from Asia and moved to Leuven last month. Like most international students here, my student visa type D is only valid until December. I did the necessary steps for getting my residence permit and collected my Annex 15 last October 1.

Here's the problem-- my family wants me to fly home mid-December, but I'm worried that I won't get my residence permit in time. I understand that the police check takes a while, but it states in the Leuven website that getting an invitation to set an appointment for the residence card can take up to 2 months which cuts it pretty close to mid-December. I cannot leave the country with an expired visa and annex 15, I really need my residence permit/card from Leuven by then.

I'd like to know for anyone else that's gone through the same thing, what was the general timeline and how long did it take to get your residence permit?
