Louvain‑la‑Neuve is super chill. Since it’s a pedestrian city, I walk around everywhere without any stress, even at night. It’s a real student town, alive day and night with students, bars, and parties.

It is a student city so a lot of student life is going on there, so it is in a way very fun because the whole city can be a party and when I walk I often see people I know but sometimes, there is some places where there is no light at night and that is quite scary
