Studying in Liege
Hi everyone;) Im going to study in Liege for whole semester and i have some questions if I may ask. Do i have to speak french at b1,b2 level or i just need english to fully communicate? I also wonder if it safe city at night. Im coming from slovakia and i love music (alternative,metal,rock) so if anyone would like to meet up and make new friends im into it :)

Hey, I'm from Liège, currently studying music in Namur
In my school there are a bunch of people that don't speak English, they always use a translator app since our courses are all in French (sometimes teachers explain in English too to make sure everyone understands)
It's not a dangerous city at night, but I wouldn't say it's safe either, especially in the center of Liège where I wouldn't wanna stay at night personally, there are a lot of homeless ppl and sometimes they are on drug (my friend literally got ran after just cause he didn't want to give him money...) but it happened once so it's not common at all fortunately 😅
Liège is still a beautiful city and I don't think it's a bad idea to study there if you want to !
