You'll be eating a lot of meat and potatoes, that's what they eat in the south of Belgium. There are lots of different foods to try. Are you going on a high school exchange? You might be in a semester at a local high school, but all the classes will be taught in French. People will try to speak English to you, so try to speak to them in French! Make sure to buy a good dictionary before you go.

Potatoes in any form. Typical lunch is : liquid vegetable soup, meat, veggies, potatoes, sweet. Be sure to have at least a basic knowledge of French otherwise you are in for a difficult time. In Flanders it would have been much more easy: everyone speaks english.

As for school, smart casual or jeans. Sweat pants or jogging bottoms are not considered cool on the whole. If you're in a catholic school most likely it will be uniform and possibly single sex. Schools are streamed into vocational, technical and academic. Wednesday is half day school. No idea wat they eat in the south but I would imagine pretty much the same as in the north. Breakfast is usually bread based or cereal. Main dinner is most likely to be potato, veg and meat with sauce or gravy. Very few people drink tea and milk is UHT most of the time. Quick is the Belgian version of McDonalds.
