What is a “kot”?

The word "Kot" (or dorm) comes from Dutch and refers to student life in Leuven where “broom closets” often designate student rooms.

Several types of dorms exist, single housing or community dorms.

University Housing

UCL disposes of numerous dorms with affordable rent, reserved for students registered at UCL and future students.  Some of these accommodations are reserved for freshmen.
