Campus life, Indian student community, food options, and day-to-day living at Ghent University in Ghent.
Practical information about day-to-day life while pursuing LLM at Ghent University in Ghent, Belgium. This covers the campus environment, accommodation, daily living and available safety and student-support services.
Ghent University has eleven faculties and campuses in and around Ghent, with additional locations in Kortrijk, Bruges, Ostend and Songdo, South Korea. Its central Ghent sites include historic urban buildings, laboratories, libraries, the University Museum and the Boekentoren library. UGent reports more than 50,000 students and more than 7,400 foreign students in 2023–24.
The Housing Office rents rooms, studios and flats to eligible international students and PhD fellows, but supply is limited and allocation depends on enrolment type. UGent's 2026–27 page lists PhD single rooms at Home Henri Pirenne from €521/month, with room-plus and comfort-room options at €622 and €707/month; degree students should check the current residence contingent and private-market alternatives in OASIS.
Ghent has supermarkets, cafés and restaurants serving Belgian, European and international food, but UGent does not promise a dedicated Indian dining service on its general student pages. Student restaurants and a student card provide campus food and discounts. Students with religious, allergy or medical dietary needs should check menus and nearby options before choosing housing.
UGent provides an international student guide, Student Centre contacts and practical arrival information. The city is strongly cycle-oriented, so students should follow local road and bike-safety rules and keep emergency, insurance and residence documents accessible. Visa and residence requirements should be confirmed through UGent and Belgian authorities before travel. Team International Admissions is the first contact for international degree applicants and handles bachelor, master and PhD enrolment questions. UGent also provides an International Student Guide, housing support, student restaurants, sports facilities, bicycle rental, language courses and Student Centre services. Applicants should use OASIS for the current application and housing workflow.
