Abstract

We have decided to conduct a survey of the exchange exchange Student living in belgium" to analyze their living habits. We have decided to focus first on the reaction of foreign students living in belgium. We have also decided to question other students that had been a part of a foreign exchange in another country. They visited exchange students in belgium and had been able to observe whether this intercultural experience was unique to belgium or quite common for exchange students at large. Lastly, we conducted a poll among Belgian students in order to gather their feeling about exchange students living in their country. This perspective permitted us to give more credit and more objective results to our study. The foreign group analyzed constituted of students (mainly from European countries and American countries) studying in the Faculty of Applied Economics of Antwerp. They were between 19 and 25 years old. The main objective of our survey was to draw the characteristics of the foreign students' group in belgium. How they got along in the country and whether they changed or adjusted their behavior. The underlying objective of the survey was to know whether foreign students enjoyed the intercultural experience in belgium or not.
