r/Liege

Bonjour,

Je suis un étudiant international et je viens de recevoir un contrat pour un kot étudiant appelé L’UNI en centre-ville de Liège.

Le problème est que le propriétaire impose un bail de 17 mois et refuse toute autre durée plus courte.

Si je pars avant la fin, je dois donner 2 mois de préavis + payer 3 mois d’indemnité.

Je voulais savoir :

Est-ce légal en Wallonie d’imposer un bail étudiant de 17 mois ?

Est-ce normal de refuser toute négociation de durée ?

La clause des 3 mois d’indemnité est-elle vraiment applicable ?

Merci

I was treated for a broken finger whilst on holiday in Comblain La Tour by Chu Liege, back in the summer. I’ve been back and forthing with their financial department about how to pay them, and finally I’m coming here to ask how to pay them and what to put as a reference.

I’ve managed to work out how to pay money from the uk to a Belgian account, but I don’t know what to put as the reference for the payment, to make sure they can trace it back to my receipt.

Please can someone help me, they’ve already kindly waived the late fee (I genuinely had no idea how to pay it, the QR code they were sending over didn’t bring anything up and I don’t have a Belgian id to use to log into any of the online services they provide) and I don’t want to keep stretching it.

Hi everyone,

My fiancée recently applied for a master’s program at the University of Liège as a non-EU student, and we are a bit confused about the financial proof / blocked account process.

At first, we uploaded the wrong financial document because we thought the blocked account step would happen after admission. Later, the university asked us to provide proof of financial resources through a blocked account solution.

From what we understand now:

• ULiège only opens its own blocked account after admission
• During the admission phase, non-EU students seem to need a solution through Studely or Ready Study Go

We started looking into Studely, but then saw that they ask for a “certificate of admission,” which confused us even more because we thought we needed the blocked account/proof of funds in order to obtain admission in the first place.

Has anyone here gone through this process recently as a non-EU student?
Especially with:

• Studely
• blocked accounts
• ULiège admission requirements

A few questions we still have:

• At what point do you actually transfer the full amount?
• If admission or visa is refused, how does the refund process work?
• Is Studely generally considered reliable?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone with personal experience because the process is quite stressful and a bit unclear from the outside 😅

Thanks a lot in advance!

Bonjour à tous,

Je prépare le tournage d’un court-métrage à Liège et je suis à la recherche d’un joli kiosque, d’une petite épicerie de quartier ou d’un mini-market qui soit très beau de l’extérieur.

Je ne tournerai rien à l’intérieur, uniquement des plans extérieurs (façade, vitrine, ambiance de rue, etc.). J’aimerais un endroit avec du charme, une belle lumière, une atmosphère sympa – un peu comme un petit commerce typique et esthétique.

Est-ce que vous avez de bonnes adresses à me recommander ? Un endroit que vous trouvez particulièrement cinématographique ?

Merci mille fois d’avance pour vos conseils ! 🙂

Hey everyone,

I’m an EU citizen moving to Liège in less than two weeks and I’m looking for some advice on learning French

Right now I’m at a beginner level, and my main goal during my 6-month stay is to reach at least an intermediate level. Ideally, I’d like to take classes so I’m trying to find something affordable (or at least good value)

I’ve come across Cripel (Centre Régional pour l’Intégration des Personnes Étrangères) and heard they might offer low-cost or even free classes but I’m not sure how accurate or up-to-date that info is. So I wanted to ask:

Has anyone taken classes through Cripel recently?

Are there other affordable options in Liège (schools, community programs, etc.)?

Any good online/remote alternatives you’d recommend?

Appreciate any tips or experiences you can share. Thanks in advance!
