Wat valt er allemaal te doen met een kindje van net twee jaar in Leuven? De verschillende speeltuinen in en rondom Leuven zien er tof uit maar zijn er nog leuke activiteiten voor de kindjes zoals voorleesmoment in de bib, speelgroepjes etc?

I'm looking for some restaurant options for lunch tomorrow (a Sunday) in our around the city centre. I'm new here so happy to explore some good options :) also if you have recommendations on what to eat there as well that'll be super!

I am taking some guests out to eat tomorrow night (ages 18-80) and Quetzal is closed for dessert. Any recommendations for similar places? It has to be a sit down, eat inside place. We can have a dessert in the restaurant where we’ll eat but we usually stroll through the city and go to a second place.

In summer we do that all night to 3 or even 4 places depending on the time and the company. Leuven is an excellent place to do that. We started doing it when restaurants started to work with shift eating. Fun concept.

Late at night of the 9th of November I was woken up by an incredibly loud explosive sound. I was inside a building near the city centre, and yet the noise was much more intense than a gunshot or firework. Weirdly, I didn't hear any car alarms being triggered or any people screaming. And also no sirens from emergency vehicles. Does anyone have an idea what this sound could have been?

Mijn vriendin spreekt er al even van dat ze eens enkele zanglessen wilt volgen. Ze zingt graag en heeft (volgens mijn nederige mening) een mooie zangstem. Echter moeten we eerlijk zijn: het is niet bepaald zuiver. Ze wil dus graag eens enkele zanglessen volgen om beter te kunnen zingen. Kent iemand een zangcoach die dit doet?

Hi i’m going to visit a friend who is an erasmus student in Leuven, do you have any raccomendations for good places to eat, or good street food places to try?

Ik heb een huurcontract bij Globiss van een jaar als masterstudent, nou ben ik niet tevreden met het appartement door een maden plaag en wil ik graag op een andere plek wonen. Globiss vertelt mij dat ik geen recht heb om het contract te beëindigen tenzij ik mijn studie stopzet maar dit wil ik niet. Kan iemand mij vertellen of dit legaal is en of ik hier iets aan kan doen? Dankjewel!

Perhaps a strange request, but I'm stuck behind a very slow internet home connection and want to make an initial offsite/"cloud" backup of my NAS (~2TB). Would there by any chance be an organization or location in (reasonable driving distance of) Leuven with a fast internet connection where I could pay to leave my NAS a period while it transfers this initial backup?

Hi guys, quick question. I am an international student in the process of getting my residency permit (appointment to order the card next friday). Is this residency permit valid for the whole academic year I am enrolled in? My long stay visa expires at the end of December and I want to go back home (the US) for the holidays, and I was worried about re-entry to Belgium. Am I able to re-enter with just my residency card? Do I need to extend my visa instead?

Ik ben alleenstaand, maar heb wel een kinderwens. Ik ga richting de 30 en ben aan het kijken wat mijn opties zijn. Zo ben ik de optie aan het bekijken om bewust alleenstaande moeder te worden. Ik heb het hier alleen moelijk mee dat ik mijn kind een vader bewust ontneem, ook omdat ik bijna geen familie heb. Daarnaast is pleegzorg voor mij ook een optie. Hier twijfel ik vooral tussen langdurig of weekendpleegzorg. Het nadeel is dat ik maar een zeer beperkt sociaal netwerk heb van familie. Enkel nog mijn ouders. Uiteraard heb ik ook nog wel enkele vriendinnen, maar zij hebben al hun eigen gezin.

Hoe kijken jullie hiernaar? Ik ben op zoek naar meningen van anderen. Ik wil hierover een doordachte keuze maken.

Hallo iedereen, mijn kotgenoten en ik nodigen enkele vrienden uit voor een verkiezingen watch party vanavond. Ik dacht dat het leuk zou zijn om wat Amerikaanse bieren te voorzien. Iemand die toevallig een winkel kent waar ze die verkopen? Liefst in het centrum. Alvast bedankt!

Hello, I am a young artist and I would like to print some of my canvas as poster to sell/give to friends.

What's the best place for quality/price? Do you have an idea of the cost in case I would like to print some 50cmx70cm?

Tx!

I need a custom cutout foam for my case, I've found some online places but wondered if there's a local (ish) provider? I've tried translating it into dutch but not found anything on google.

Any help?

So had to take my daughter to the ER. And I wondered. What is the best one? GHB or Heilig Hart? We ended up going to Heilig Hart, but as I'm waiting here I'm wondering if GHB would have been the better (faster?) option.

Any opinions or experiences?

I am traveling back home in a couple days, and I would like to know if I could take the Zavatem bus (not train) (that one to the airport) with my 23 KG luggage. Is there any regulation for it? Thanks and regards.

Hey guys! I'm from Ireland, and hoping to move to Leuven for a couple of weeks for some bar work. Does anyone know of any apartment lets going at the moment, or any other advice on renting short-term in the city?

Everything I have seen so far requires a deposit, or hostels are charging a lot of money per night, both of which are unsuitable for me. Any and all advice is much appreciated, thank you! :)

Hey i was wondering if there is someone who likes comedy in Leuven who wants to go watch some stuff together?

Me and my close m8's have really busy schedules and if we meetup it's for something else cuz comedy/ standup isn't their cup of tea.

For example there was this roast battle in rock cafe today that I really wanted to go to but I was too afraid to go alone( cuz it might be considered weird idk ?). So if by any chance someone in a similar situation would be down to go together sometimes? (23 m if thats important)

Are there any meditation groups/ places in leuven???

I am a EU student that only speaks English, I would like to find some work but I cant seem to find alot of places that accept people that dont speak French or Dutch. Does anyone know a place in Leuven that does part time work for english only speakers?

Hi guys! I'm an international student at KU Leuven, I've been living in Leuven for a month and a half +/-. I come from Peru and I'm used to do kind of "long" distances with my bicycle (30-60km), I wouldn't say I'm a pro but definitely not a beginner. I bought an old road bike but it has been really good so far, I've been going on weekly bike rides outside Leuven. I like going by myself, but I'm sure that it could be more fun going with a partner or group of people. I don't know if there's anyone here interested or knows someone who might be interested. Also, I don't know if any of you knows if there are already groups of bikers whom I can join.

Hey, so I have an INSANE amount of clothing, some coats and about 60 pairs of shoes and trainers. I don't have time to photo, list and sell them all as there is just So much!!!

• been hording since the late 90s*😑

But I need to get rid of it all as it's taking up so much room! And it's all still great condition so don't want to throw it all away. In the UK I would give it to a charity shop. Please any suggestions for this clothes horder who's trying to not horde😆🥰
❤️❤️❤️

Hi. I wanted to ask if there’s any space to donate or collaborate with the Valencia floods around Leuven.

Are any supermarkets open today to buy groceries???

Hey everyone! I've been struggling a bit lately and im considering to consult a professional and see if I need some help. Are there any options that are affordable for a student or maybe even free? All information would be much appreciated so thank you!

Hello all!

I am an avid reader and I would like to know if there's any bookclubs in Leuven that I can join.

Also, are there any cafés with board games available or clubs related to board games and such?
