Back when I went to Belgium as a student from America, I had to get a language certificate for undergraduate studies, but advanced degree programs were available in English. The first year I only took the language program at the university and the cost was slightly higher (200 Euros more at that time) than cheapest degree program at the university. What happened at the end of that year, if I registered as a degree student for the following year, the government subsidized language program refunded all but 100 Euros, which made the refund 100 Euros more than the degree program's tuition. So the one year language program ended up costing 100 Euros and the remaining refund covered the next year's tuition. My Flemish skills weren't good enough to complete exams, but the professor allowed me to come back the following year. I never completed a degree program in Belgium, but I can now talk with Flemish people that visit America.

At 2:32 and 4:14 the blocked account is usually €12k-€13k this include housing expenses, living expense etc. . if we get a one year housing contract which will cost around €4k-€5k. Then will that reduce the amount of blocked account? As we have already committed a major portion of that blocked account.

Will the cost of living such as rent be more expensive if my course take place in Brussels or Antwerp Campus? Will the school give us options to apply for “student housing” if I study in those campus? (I am considering applying for a master degree in the business field as an international student.) Thanks!

is opening a blocked account necessary if someone is sponsoring my living there? I mean if I have a sponsor who is a Belgian citizen, will it be still necessary to open a blocked account?

Tuition fee for a masters in tech is 7000 per year. If you have to pay that much you are better off studying in the UK with a few thousand euros more
