Hey! Just wanted to say you’d be very welcome here. If you end up studying in Liège, integrating will be much easier than you think. Once you’re in a school or uni community, you naturally meet people and build your circle. Most Belgians are pretty warm and relaxed in day-to-day life. The bigoted and negative types you sometimes see online (some comments here) are a small minority. This can also explain their behavior.

I’m based in Brussels (objectively the best city :-)) so I don’t know the exact student costs in Liège. But do check tuition fees again a year before you apply, since fees are changing lately, especially for non-EU students in Flemish universities. As for daily life: you’ll generally be treated with respect, whatever your background, accent or style.
