    Foro Erasmus Bruselas, Bélgica

    It is the usual meeting place before the start of the academic year. There are many threads of students looking to meet people or set up WhatsApp groups for the following year (such as the current threads for 2025/2026). There are also many questions about people going only for the second semester, recommended mobile data companies, or specific doubts about being an Au Pair. It provides peace of mind because it allows you to travel with an already established circle of Spanish friends.
