With around 562,000 residents, Antwerp (Antwerpen) is Belgium's second-largest city and home to some 60,000 students across Universiteit Antwerpen, Karel de Grote Hogeschool and AP Hogeschool. Student life plays out above all around the Ossenmarkt and Stadswaag and in the trendy Het Zuid district, while Het Eilandje in the old harbour forms the heart of the nightlife. Between fashion scene, harbour bars and clubs in converted industrial halls, student everyday life mingles with diamond history and Flemish coffee culture.
