Partial Hosting of a Student: An Open Door, an Easier Journey

Do you have a spare room in the Louvain-la-Neuve area? By offering a few nights of accommodation per week, you can make a concrete difference in supporting the journey of a student seeking asylum.

The Access2University programme at the University of Louvain, a preparatory year for (prospective) refugee students resuming higher education — is looking for rooms near Louvain-la-Neuve to host students a few nights per week.

I would like to offer a room by completing the form.

Why offer partial accommodation?

Some students in the Access2University programme live more than an hour away from the Louvain-la-Neuve campus by public transport. For legal reasons, these students are currently unable to move closer.

Partial accommodation near Louvain-la-Neuve allows them to reduce their travel time, improve their living conditions, and focus more fully on resuming their academic journey.

  Aged 18 to 35

  From diverse backgrounds (Palestine, Ukraine, Syria, etc.)

  In the asylum application process

  Attending French classes (levels between A2 and B2)

  Resuming higher education in a variety of fields (law, engineering, social sciences, etc.)

The hosting arrangement is offered on a voluntary basis, in a spirit of mutual support, and no rent is requested.

The practical arrangements (duration, frequency, organisation) are defined freely between the host and the student, in a way that respects the needs of both parties.

To support you and provide a clear framework, the University of Louvain offers a template agreement you can use.

  A significant gain in time and quality of life
  A stable and reassuring environment
  Cultural and linguistic integration

What are the steps to offer partial accommodation?
