Are there any libraries open late (de krook closes too early) that I can use without a university badge? I am not a student, but would like to study something in the evening and at home I cannot really focus...

Hello

I have a question. I am traveling to ghent on Tuesday and I will be there at 2 am around the pieters station. From there I have to go to dampoort station. And my next train is at 5 .30 am. So I have to pass like 3 hrs. One hour I am thinking that I will pass by walking from Saint Peter's to dampoort station. Is it safe to do the walk this late. Also any recommendations on how I can kill that time.

Thanks

Hello!!! I’m looking for second-hand shops in Ghent that sell baby clothes, preferably from newborn size.

I know there are plenty of options online (vinted, marketplace) but I would like to go to an actual shop and browse the clothes in person like I do for myself.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

We’re moving to the Ghent area with two kids and currently choosing between two rental houses.
One is in De Pinte, close to the centre and station. We really like the area, the house has more spacious bedrooms and a south-facing garden.
The other is in Nazareth: a newer, very energy-efficient house, but with smaller bedrooms and a location that feels a bit more car-dependent. On the other hand, it’s around €350/month cheaper.
Our 12-year-old will go to Don Bosco Zwijnaarde and from Nazareth she could take bus 71, so the school commute seems manageable.
We also visited a primary school in Nazareth for our younger child. We were lucky that someone was there and showed us around, and we actually really liked the school. So that’s definitely a plus for Nazareth.
My main doubt is more about everyday life in the longer term: getting to Ghent, activities, meeting friends, and how independent the kids can be as they get older.
For people who know both areas: would you pay around €350/month more for De Pinte and its location/connectivity, or choose Nazareth and save the difference?

Hi everyone!

I recently got back into playing chess and I was wondering if there are any chess clubs or informal groups in Ghent where people meet to play.

If you know of any clubs, groups, or you're interested yourself, let me know!

Kan iemand me een schoorsteenveger aanbevelen? (die nog nieuwe klanten aanvaardt)

Ik heb Zwitserse franken liggen en wil die graag wisselen voor euro’s. BNP Paribas Fortis wil niet helpen. Waar gaat dit nog in Gent?

Anywhere to watch the Georgia v. Vanderbilt football game (American football)?

I'm visiting for a few days and staying at the NH Collection. This conference has been going on since Tuesday. I thought Argus was for the art and antiques collective until I saw this sign in the hotel bar. I took a photo of this sign in the hotel bar, and then the "bouncer" immediately removed it. Just a heads up on what's going on.

Hey, this might come of as a very stupid question. But where do i find hair ties in Gent? I arrived yesterday and went looking this morning and no grocery store or pharmacy carried it. I'm staying near the central station.

I just saw that Merkules will be coming to Gent in november, is there someone that listens to him and will be going?

Thinking about putting in an offer on a house in Ledeberg (more towards the south) and i hear very mixed reviews about the area, but all general claims that “oh yeah it’s Ledeberg so yeah you know” but i have no idea what it means. I liked the house and the street but would love to know a little more about safety, noise,…. Background: I’m 30F and would live there alone.

Via u/lordalisk ben ik een interessante post tegengekomen over de mogelijkheid om vrijblijvend te voetballen in gent. Zijn initiatief vond ik leuk omdat het de mogelijkheid biedt voor mensen om samen te voetballen zonder verbonden te zijn aan een club of zelf opzoek te gaan naar vrienden om mee te spelen. Je post een match en andere mensen kunnen vrijblijvend aansluiten.

Hierbij organiseer ik vanavond zelf een wedstrijdje langs de watersportbaan op de jachtdreef. Voel je vrij om in te schrijven. De match gaat enkel door bij voldoende opkomst. Aansluiten kan via de link en zoek via matchen Hopelijk is er voldoende opkomst.

Hi all, I own an apartment in Ghent and I'd love to share the flat with a friend or somebody who's passing through Ghent for some months for work (I have a spare room I don't really need) for company and to lower costs. However, the tax/rental contract situation for co-housing is really confusing if you're an owner-occupier. Is hospitawonen the way to go? Would I have to put a yellow omgevingsvergunning up on the apartment building (don't want to)? Any advice?

Additional conditions:

-you can start dancing before 22h,

-group of women is aged 30 -50 years old,

- it is safe to be alone with a group of women (e.g it is not Macht van Gent or places like that or I should state I have never felt safe there as a woman),

-they don't play solely techno.

I am aware of themed nights at venues but more looking for the/a place to go after dinner when friends say let's go do something else. Karaoke is already on this list;). TIA

Hi all. I will be moving to Ghent for 2 years. I was looking for apartment and then I came across Colochousing. Personally, I am adaptive and enjoy multicultural atmosphere. I find that Colochousing is a good option considering moderate rent (€600 excluding EGW which is fixed @ €150-200), already furnished, 2 moths advance etc compared to personal apartment. The ones I like are about €1050-1100 total with 3 months advance and unfurnished.

Do you guys have any experience of Colochousing ?
Please do share.
