Alternatives to UCLouvain housing

If you are looking for an alternative to the accommodations offered by UCLouvain, several options are available.

The municipalities surrounding Louvain-la-Neuve (Ottignies, Wavre, Gembloux, Court-Saint-Étienne, Mont-Saint-Guibert, Chaumont-Gistoux, and the nearby villages) are particularly attractive alternatives thanks to their accessibility by public transport and a living environment that is often quieter and more affordable.
