Starting higher education in Flanders (lemmy.world)

I have been considering starting higher education studies in Belgium (mainly in Flanders) due to several factors such as low fees, its central position, the opportunity to speak English (nonetheless I want to study the local language), the fact that Flanders is a rich region, etc.

Is it a good move (I come from southern Europe), considering also the quality of life and job opportunities?

It always surprises me if people from the beautiful south want to study in Belgium. Nevertheless, if you found a university/high school in Ghent, I’m sure you’re going to have a good experience

Ahah, indeed I do believe southern Europe is of extreme beauty. Nonetheless, the work-life balance and the salaries might not be the best, and I think that going abroad is an experience to do and it would help me in many ways. Moreover, as I said the central position of Flanders allows me to go to many different countries and I would have the opportunity to learn about new cultures and lifestyles.
