A kot, in Belgium, is a furnished room rented to a student, usually near a university or college. The word comes from Dutch and covers the single student room, the private studio, or a bedroom in a flatshare. Median rent ranges between €350 and €600/month, often including utilities (water, electricity, internet).
In Louvain-la-Neuve, UCLouvain's pedestrian university town, kots near the Grand-Place are the most sought-after. In Brussels, Ixelles and Saint-Gilles concentrate the student supply around ULB and ICHEC. Liège, Namur, Mons and Charleroi offer more affordable rents, while Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and Hasselt cover the Flemish supply.
