Best neighbourhoods to live in near the ULiège

Outremeuse, Cathédrale, Botanique and Le Carré

All these central neighbourhoods of Liège are very convenient if you are going to the Campus Liège City Centre of the institution.

In addition, living in these neighbourhoods will put you in the most lively area of the Belgian city, where most of the bars, restaurants, and places to go out at night are located.

Sart-Tilman, Avroy, Guillemins, Fragnée and Vennes

The Sart-Tilman neighbourhood is the most convenient to live in near the Campus Liège Sart-Tilman, as it is located right there. However, we also recommend considering the neighbourhoods of Avroy, Guillemins, Fragnée and Vennes to go to this campus. They are on the bus route that connects this campus with the centre of Liège, and the journey takes a maximum of 30 minutes.

Namur City Centre

The Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech campus of ULiège is located approximately 30 minutes away by public transport from the city of Namur, so it is more convenient to live there than in the city of Liège. The centre of Namur is located next to the main train station, so you will have easy access to that campus.

Erasmus in the University of Liège

Here are some important things to keep in mind when doing your mobility in this Belgian city:

• We believe that the best thing you can do to get to the university is to acquire a second-hand bike and use it to commute daily. However, if you prefer to use public transport, keep in mind that the Wallonia region offers reductions in the prices of transportation vouchers for young people.

• ULiège requires international students to present a certificate that reflects their level in French or English, depending on the language in which they will be studying. A minimum level of B1 is required in both languages, with a B2 necessary for the HEC Management School.
