Van Orley Family
Van Orley is so much more than just a building with student rooms. It is a home where you make memories for life. Just read the testimonies of students who have stayed here.
Bartek Konopka, Spring 2023
"It's a great place for meeting many people from all over the world. Friendships for life are made here. It's an amazing experience for any foreign exchange student who comes to Brussels for one semester or more. The building is cosy and makes you feel comfortable very quickly and the common rooms give you a great opportunity to interact with other tenants and to do group activities together. Van Orley is probably the best dormitory for international students in all Brussels. The prices of the rooms are some of the best you will find in the city. I highly recommend this place to every foreign exchange student coming to Brussels. It's the best way of meeting new people and becoming comfortable in the new environment. I've lived in VO for 2.5 years and I can say those were the best years of my life."
Manuel García Ruiz, Autumn 2020
"I have spent some of the most wonderful and perfect moments of my life in Van Orley. This is a place where youth and willingness to enjoy life go together. This is what makes this student house different from others. Brik officers and staff are always available for maintenance and help, and the price/quality ratio is excellent."
Adrian Piñero, Autumn 2019
"It is almost impossible to put into words what Van Orley has meant to me. By the time you arrive you realise it is more than just a student house. Instead, it is like being part of a family with 100 people. I have personally enjoyed the best year of my life here, not only thanks to all the students that come and go every year, but also thanks to the Brik team."

"Van Orley gave me the best Erasmus experience I could have ever asked for and good friends for a lifetime with whom I’m still in touch! The position of the dorm is very handy, close to the city center, the Central station and the North one by just walking distance, and also two minutes from the metro station. Great experience!"
Daniela Felgueiras, Spring 2024
"Absolutely loved it!!! No place is perfect, and it's hard to maintain a house with nearly 100 students but I wouldn't go anywhere else if I had to study abroad again. I made friends for life and I had the best time! Definitely the best place to live as an Erasmus student."
