Every year, Brik surveys Brussels students about living in student accommodation in Brussels. The survey focuses on the cost, what students consider important in their accommodation and where exactly they live in Brussels. Students who do not live in student accommodation are also surveyed: they indicate why and what criteria are important to them.

Registratiedrempels voor internationale studenten in Brussel (NL)
The reception and registration of international students in Brussels does not always run smoothly. This is due to reasons such as the complex registration procedures in place at the nineteen municipalities in Brussels. That’s why Brik decided to conduct a research about the experiences of international students when registering in Brussels.
Barriers to registration as international student staying in Brussels
Le groupe d’étudiants étrangers dans les universités et écoles supérieures néerlandophones de Bruxelles ne cesse d’augmenter. L’accueil et l’inscription de ces étudiants ne se passent pas toujours sans peine. Cela s’explique en partie par la complexité de la procédure d’inscription auprès des 19 communes bruxelloises. C'est pour cela que Brik a décidé de mener une recherche sur les différentes expériences des étudiants internationaux avec leurs inscriptions dans les communes bruxelloises.
