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.
InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Leuven
Hello to all Americans in Leuven! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Leuven? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Leuven which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st￭ turkey?
There’s no doubt about it: Leuven is a characterful city. The capital of the province of Flemish Brabant is a historic city known for its ancient university, the Anheuser-Busch InBev headquarters — the world’s largest beer brewer — its rich history and culture, and much more! With the buses, railway lines, and bicycle zones, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in the surrounding areas of Leuven, which are an easy commute away from Leuven’s center.
Although Leuven has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Leuven, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.

You can really get lost in the "capital of Europe" - InterNations helped me to get settled and to make a lot of expat friends.
