It does snow in Belgium. But if he lives near the coast not often and it hardly stays long. On the eastern end of Belgium snow is much more regular and deeper, and skiing is happening every few years. At this time the question made me smile, as all of western Europe has snow, even the coast of Belgium.

Yes, it can snow in Belgium. Not so often but in some regions every winter it snows. In the Ardennes they have some ski resorts (not so much, but they exist). It's rare that the snowfall is higher than a few cm. When your exchange student says he never has seen snow, it must be a full time nerd, always staying behind his computer... (lol) or he is not a belgian.

Yes, it snows in Belgium. It's been snowing for a month now. I live in the north-east of Belgium.

I was just there for 2 years and it does snow every once in awhile but it is usually wet snow and not very much at all. And rarely last for longer than a day.

It does. It has now for the last couple of weeks actually. But, in your exchange student's defence, he might be too young to remember the last time it snowed remarkably. I was about 6 years old when I last saw snow around Christmas and I'm now 25. So roughly 19 years the winters have been mild to relatively warm here. In those 19 years, the only snow we ever saw was few, and disappeared after touching the ground. So it's to no surprise that poor young man got excited by seeing blankets of snow.
