How to reach from Upkot wing to campus coupre

Hello, I am going to start my masters in food technology and I am allotted a room in residence upkot wing at Pauline van Pottelsberghelaan 30 , 9051 Gent. As campus coupre looks very far from here I'm tad concerned about whether travelling will be manageable or not. What are the simplest ways to reach campus from my housing every morning?

Request for getting residence wing room earlier than alloted date

Hello there, I am coming as a visiting student at Ugent in September in the IUPFOOD programme. I have confirmed a room plus in residence wing starting from 16th september but It has come to my attention that I might have to come early by 1st September as registration is on 3rd September so I will need this room from 1st September. Can you suggest what should I do. i have mailed housing committee for the same today but a friend told me if confirmed then date will not be changed.

How risky Is it to take a 50 lakh education loan for Belgium

Hi everyone, My_qualifications: BTech in Food Processing Technology 8.9 cgpa Received offer letter from KU Leuven for their IUPFOOD Program It's a MSc Food Technology Inter University program between KU Leuven and University of Ghent. Both are top universities in belgium and europe. Until last year Annual Tution fees for this course was 1200 Euros as it was a highly funded program but from this year they have increased fees to 9000 euros per year as it says all the funding from flemish govt have been stopped. To study there,I'll need to take an education loan of around 50 lakh. The part that scares me is that I'll be responsible for repaying the entire loan from my own income. My family won't be able to help with the EMIs if I don't get a job immediately after graduation For those who took a similar-sized loan for studying in Belgium or Any European country: Was it worth it? How long did it take you to find your first full-time job? Were you able to manage the EMl comfortably? Looking back, would you still take a 50 lakh loan? I'm looking for honest experiences, both positive and negative, so I can make an informed decision. Thanks in advance
