Moving to Leuven from India

Post new topic

dhrikash

Hi, I have been offered a job in Leuven, Belgium as a researcher with a monthly gross salary of 4000 EUR. I am unmarried and am planning to relocate alone around end of this year. Is this salary a decent amount with regards to the cost of living in Leuven - what about the rent and stuff like that ? Will I be able to save some part of my salary?

I am originally from India, have a Master's degree and have been working here for the past 4.5 years.

Any help would be much appreciated.
