I loved moving to Brussels. But after a while I felt homesick. On InterNations I met a bunch of people from the US. That helped a lot.

Facts about Expat Life and the Local Economy in Leuven
Leuven is a thriving city with plenty to do for everyone. Its many attractions include cultural monuments (including historic abbeys and churches), six breweries (including Stella Artois), plenty of fascinating museums and galleries, Belgium's oldest botanical garden dating from 1738, many parks, and the magnificent Kolen forest. As home to the KU Leuven, a major institute for academic research and education, much of the buoyant local economy centers on spin-offs from this, including biotech and ICT companies. It is a pedestrian and cycle-friendly city, with a maximum speed limit of 30 km per hour in the city center.
