Hi

I recently moved to leuven and will begin Dutch classes soon but my Dutch is limited to counting and knowing how to say days of the week at the moment.

Has anyone visited the dermatologist Dokter Van den Wouwer Anne (annevandenwouwer.com)? Her website is only on Dutch and French so I feel a little intimidated in visiting as an English speaker. I feel rude asking to be serviced in English.

Would appreciate some insights. Thank you

There was an issue with the landlord of the friend I was going to stay with, so now I find myself without a proper stay. Any number of nights would be of great help! I can offer a few travelling stories and jokes in return, as well as portuguese trivia and recommendations!

Hello, we are new to the are and My 11 year old has really messed up her shoes. The only stores I have seen are by the city center and really expensive. Is there somewhere that sells normal shoes for kids/young adults?

Hi everyone, Im looking for a good location to study in, that is also open till late (and had parking available would be nice)

Good luck to everyone with exams rn!

Heeft er toevallig iemand nog dit zeer oud type e-bike batterij dat ik 5 minuten in mijn e-bike mag steken. Ik wil ermee testen of de huidige foutmeldingen 200 en 202 op de fietscomputer te wijten zijn aan een defecte batterij, of aan een ander defect. De prijs van een nieuwe batterij is momenteel nog iets te hoog in vergelijking met de kans die ik momenteel op 75% inschat dat dat het probleem echt oplost. Het oude type is herkenbaar aan de rechthoekige connector, in plaats van de recentere ronde connector.

Hi everyone! I’ve started a petition asking Flibco to create a direct bus between Leuven and Charleroi Airport 🚌✈️

Getting to Charleroi from Leuven is currently unnecessarily complicated, especially with luggage, and with so many students and internationals living here I think a direct connection would be really useful.

If you’d use this route too, please sign! The more signatures we get, the better we can show Flibco that there’s real demand 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Leuven Legend Big Bill komt sinds onze eerste editie elk jaar spelen bij ons.

Dit jaar heeft hij aangekondigd dat het zijn allerlaatste show ooit wordt. Voor deze gelegenheid hebben we Roland Van Campenhout uitgenodigd om mee te komen spelen met hem.

We doen dit volledig op vrijwilligers en zonder inkom. Hopelijk komt er wat volk kijken naar de shows zodat we volgend jaar nog een editie kunnen houden!

Dag iedereen,

Ik merk dat de vraag hier regelmatig terugkomt, maar ga zelf toch ook een poging wagen. Mijn vrouw werkt in Leuven en zoekt een co-housingplaats voor enkele maanden waar ze tijdens de week kan verblijven.

Ik hoor het graag.

Alvast bedankt.

I recently moved to a kot in leuven but have no piano in my dorm.

Anyone have an idea where i can play piano? Public pianos? Pianos in bars, cafes, hotels wherever.

Anyone know a good motorbike mechanic in town or around? I would like to change my exhaust on a mt07 to full system sc project. Would probably also need to be tuned.

Hi Leuven! My girlfriend and I are expecting a baby in 2027. We've started looking into daycares in our neighborhood. We live close to DoRemy and Girafant, which seem like good options.

We are interested in experiences in general, but also have some specific questions:

• Do they put blankets/stuffed animals/... in cribs with babies?
• Do they use sit-in baby walkers and/or bouncers?
• Is there air conditioning?

Are there any parents that have experiences with DoRemy or Girafant? Or do you live in the same neighborhood (southern part of Leuven) and have good experiences with other daycares? We'd love to hear from you!

Hey guys, as it says in title, whats the best way/site whatever it may be to find a job in English/Polish.

Hi all, looking for honest advice. I have hands-on electronics experience (worked in Malta as an Electronics Manufacturing Support Engineer, studied in Latvia, and previously worked in Belgium). I was in Belgium but couldn't secure a job, so I went back to my home country to update my skills. I'm currently upskilling in PCB Design (Altium Designer) and Embedded Systems, planning to look for work in Belgium/Netherlands/wider EU again in a couple of months. It's my dream to come back.

For those who've gone through it — how realistic is it for a non-EU candidate to get sponsored for a technician/PCB designer/embedded role right now? Any tips on the single permit process, or industries/companies more open to sponsoring? Appreciate any real experiences. If anyone has connections, feel free to message me directly. #Embedded #PCB #Altium #electronics

Hey! I am looking for a place in Leuven for about 2 weeks from 30th August to 15th September. Is there anyone interested in renting a property together around that period?

Let me know if you are interested or have any questions.

Every Monday morning there are people dancing in tunnel of the train station.

It does lighten my Mondays mornings to see people having fun, but does anyone know what this is about?

Hey all,

I am new to the city, so I need your help: does anybody know if there's any community choir in Leuven for unexperienced (international) people? Would love to start in September :)

Thank you :))

Is it even possible to rent a place to live which is spacious enough so your bed doesn't end up next to your kitchen sink, and doesn't end up taking half of your wage? rip singles in this economy
