Welcoming of international students
WELCOMING OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Antwerp goes international with the welcoming of many international students who annually want to discover what Antwerp has to offer. STAN pays attention to these internationals who are lost during their first weeks in our city. We like to help them on their journey.
STAN does this by warmly welcoming them to GATE15 at the start of the semester. A student guide takes them on a tour in one of the neighborhoods here in Antwerp. This way, we immediately tick those insider local tips off their bucket list and ensure a memorable first impression of our beloved city.

As an international student, you can contact the Office for International Students at GATE15 after making an appointment with your (host) university or college. This office will help you apply for your residence permit, etc. Check the opening hours of the office.
Our student editorial team regularly searches for the best addresses in the city so that internationals can quickly feel like interlocals. We have compiled these addresses in STAN’s student maps. Fancy a new, familiar spot? Or do you need to plan a date soon? With these maps you’ll discover Antwerp’s hidden gems, both inside and just outside the city. Of course, we also share our secrets on social media.
We want every student in Antwerp to grow and prosper, and that goes for international students too. Would you like to collaborate on this project as a partner? Join us, that makes us happy!
Are you a student and do you think you have found the organisation of your life in STAN? Hey! Nice to meet you, we might have a student job for you.
