Belgium is a small country at the centre of the most significant industrial and urban area in Western Europe. Brussels is the federal capital of Belgium. The opening of borders within the European Union should be supported by an efficient European transport system. This means fast inter-European and cross-border links between member states for all modes of transport. Belgium is an increasingly popular destination for students from all over the world. The friendliness and hospitality for which Belgium people are renowned, contribute to the ease with which overseas students adapt to the way of life and in particular, student life.
