Originally, 'Kot' (or shared flat) is a Dutch word meaning 'junk room'. Nowadays in Belgium this word means accommodation for university students.
Shared flats are composed of 3 up to 12 student rooms, with shared services (kitchen, living room, showers and toilets). Shared flats may be mixed-gender or single-gender.
Rooms are fully furnished (crockery, cutlery and bedding are not provided).

International students who would like to be part of a kot 脿 projet should contact the UCL Accommodation Office.
