Where would you go as a exchange student; Antwerp, Belgium OR Prague, Czech Republic? ?
I'm planning on going as an exchange student to one of these countries for one semester, but I don't know which one yet? what are the advantages of each city? languages they speak?, average cost?, attractions?, friendly people?, nightlife?, anything else you want to share?.. thanks!

I'd go to Belgium, because they speak German

Antwerp is a beautiful city, but it's far smaller, less vibrant and more subdued than Prague. I studied in Prague two summers ago & had an amazing time. It's an incredibly beautiful, dynamic city with a more creative, energetic vibe than Antwerp, and is considered to be on the gems of the Europe. It's also far less expensive than Antwerp. Czech is the language of the Czech Republic, and it's one of the harder languages to learn, but the majority of people in Prague are fluent in English. There are tons of expats living there and students on a study abroad, and it's a really fun place to be. The nightlife is awesome. I was really young then, & nobody cared. It's a more liberal environment, and that's..... liberating. The film, theatre & music schools in Prague are top-notch. Antwerp is a pretty place to spend a weekend, but I think it would become boring after a while. There are more places you take weekend trips to from Prague as well. I adore Karlovy Vary. I would try to go in the fall when it's especially spectacular. Have an awesome time wherever you decide to go. : )
