Moving to Hasselt! Any advice?

[u/Forsaken-Night8645]

Hey everyone!

I’m super excited to share that I’ll be moving to Hasselt this September to start my Master’s degree.

I’ve been looking at accommodation and Xior caught my eye. Does anyone have experience living there? Is it worth the price, or is it better to look for a traditional "kot"? I’m mostly looking for a good social vibe but also somewhere I can actually get some studying done.

Also, which neighborhoods would you recommend for students? I’d love to be somewhere where things are happening (bars, cafes, etc.) but still within a decent bike ride to the university.

A few other quick questions.How’s the student life during the week?Any "hidden gems" (bars/cheap eats) I should check out once I arrive?Is it easy to get around just with a bike, or should I look into a bus pass?

Thanks in advance for any help!
