Moving from Greece to Leuven with 3000 Euro net monthly for a couple, is it enough for a decent place?

Comfortable. 3000 Euro is plenty for 2 people but dont expect luxury. Rent takes up about 29% of the average pay here and utilities for a standard flat usually land between 250 and 300 Euro per month

Proximus or Telenet is gonna cost u 60-70 Euro (which is steep) but Scarlet or Edpnet are way cheaper

Living alone is sooo expensive in this city. I know people who pay way too much of their salary just for a tiny studio and it makes no sense

That is a good point... I never thought about that... Do you think it is hard to find a good studio in the center?
