More exact details about housing/food as I get them. Thanks to Tom Deprez, EuroPython organiser, whose university this is and who set all of this up. Even if he cannot Sprint we us, we all owe him beer.

There is a brand new Youth Hostel in Leuven, expected to open in May 2003. For those who need cheap accomodation, this should be good news. http://www.vjh.be/E/news.htm http://www.youthhostels.be/E/SL-home.htm

I visited Leuven in 1997 and I found it to be a very charming town. I stayed at a good and reasonably cheap hotel close to the town centre. I expect that it would be 20-30 minutes walk from the main parts of the university, though if I remember correctly, the university is more or less all over town. Apart from being a university town, Leuven also has one of the biggest breweries in Europe.
