Accommodation

At ULB, success requires accommodation that guarantees students and researchers comfort and quiet, at an appropriate price.

All ULB residences are full for the academic year 2022-2023.

ULB offers a wide choice of accommodation in its own halls of residence and private halls of residence, either on one of its three campuses (Solbosch, La Plaine, Erasme) or off-campus (with over 2,400 rooms or flats). The Housing Office will help you to find a suitable accommodation and advise you on many aspects of student housing.

University Residences

Applications for university residence accommodation are open from 1 March to 28 April for the 2023-2024 academic year. If you do not have a place in a university residence for the academic year 2023-2024, we suggest that you look for accommodation in the private sector or in partner residences.

Some students may be given priority access through the Students Social Service after an examination of their financial situation. On the same basis, students may, where appropriate, receive rental assistance.

Students with Special Needs (SN) or Disabilities (DS) have priority on accommodation. If you have a disability and require special accommodation, please complete the form.

In the private sector

Private accommodation can sometimes involve scams. Beware of attractive properties with (too) attractive rents, usually below market prices. Do not send money when in doubt, and beware of emergency situations where prospective tenants are pressured to pay quickly.

Never provide your RIB, bank statement, etc.
