I copied the transportation and accommodation sections from Google Docs and added some more info. I couldn't mark the sections as red in the docs cuz I don't have access to do it, so I would be very happy if someone could do it for me :)

| If you want to benefit from a university accommodation, you have to make the request as soon as possible since they are always full. Ideally, for a start in September, the request should be done in March/April before starting. If you come from abroad the accommodation service of the university may ask for a contract that you don't have yet. In such a situation, ask Olivier to send a recommendation letter explaining you will be hired by providing the details and motivation, this may help unlock the situation. | ||

| If you are coming for a short-term like 2-3 months, you should email them at least 1 or 1.5 months before arriving in Belgium to reserve a room. They answer very late sometimes, but if they don't answer for 1-2 weeks, send more emails highlighting that it's urgent. |
