How to access 365?

365 has 3 main entrances. One can be found at 365 avenue de la Couronne (next to the E building) which is also our main entrance. Our second entrance you will find at 353 avenue de la Couronne (to enter building F) and the last one is at 76 rue César Franck (next to the A building). Between 7 pm and 7 am, the gates are closed. To enter 365 outside those hours, you need to pass your magnetic card on the magnetic reader and open the pedestrian gate. You will find the magnetic reader next to the gate on the left at Rue César Franck and on the right wall next to the gate at avenue de la Couronne.

Where is the laundry room and how much does it cost?

We have 2 laundry rooms. We have a laundry room in the basement of building C and E. To enter building C, pass your magnetic card on the card reader next to the door of building C and for building E, pass your magnetic card on the code reader next to the glass door of building E.
Every cycle costs two euros, and the washing machines and dryers only work with €1 coins. To find more instructions for the use of washing and drying machines, 365 put big posters on the walls with more explanation.

Warning! The washing machines and the dryers must be switched on before inserting the coins; otherwise the coins will be lost.

What to do if I don’t have coins to use in the laundry room?

If you are using the laundry room while our office is open, you can come to our office where you can exchange notes for €1 coins.

What to do with my trash?

The bins must be taken to the containers on a regularly basis. In no case, trash can be put in the corridors, staircases or courtyard. There are different trash rooms for our students living in different buildings:
For the residents living in buildings A, B, C and D, there is a trash room in building A which can be entered via building B​​​​. (see picture) In this trash room there is some explanation about how to sort your waste.
For the residents living in building E, it is easier for them to use the containers that are placed outside at the court next to building E. Since these containers are outside, we don’t have any place to hang more information about how to sort your waste, but you find them in each kitchen. That is why we give you an overview on our website about it.
For the residents in building F there is a trash room available in the basement next to the kitchen. You can deposit all your trash there.

Is there Wifi everywhere?

There is WIFI in every room. You will find two WIFI networks in your room: 5.00 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz. The 5.00 Ghz network is more stable but cannot be detected by older devices. If needed, an Ethernet cable can also be provided on request at the office.

If you cannot have access to a website page because of the firewall, please contact us.
In case of a problem with the modem, you can turn it off and on again, but please never push on the reset button of the internet modem!

All our residents can have access to Wifi in the study room or outside in the garden (courtyard) through the “VP-Patio” network. To connect, use first your building name, then floor and room number and finally your personal password (this password will be given to you at your first day of you stay with us) such as:
A-00-00 (Building- floor number – room number e.g. C-02-14)
aaaaa1111 (personal password which is written at the back of your modem)

How can I receive letters/packages?

You will find the address of your accommodation in your contract.
To receive letters directly in your mailbox, please change the name on the mailbox label and add “B- followed by the number of your mailbox” to your address (you will find the mailbox number on a sticker stuck on the left side of the mailbox).

For example:

Can I paint the walls of my room? Or can I make changes in the room?

If you would like to paint walls or to make changes in the room, we will not prohibit it, but we do expect to receive the room back in its original state at your check-out, as was the case when you checked in at your arrival.

Can I change rooms?

We do not accept people changing rooms. Of course, if there would be a problem in your room, you need to inform us about it as soon as possible.

Can I invite guests into 365/into my room?

Visitors are welcome during the day but for security reasons visits are prohibited between 10 pm and 7 am, unless in exceptional cases. This must be requested by the resident beforehand and accepted by a 365-team member.

Can I smoke in 365?

It is strictly forbidden to smoke inside the buildings and certainly inside the rooms and communal spaces. Ashtrays have been placed outside in the courtyard and on the walkways.

Do the communal rooms get cleaned?

In building E the communal kitchens and bathrooms are cleaned every Thursday. In building F the communal kitchens and bathrooms are cleaned every Friday. We ask our residents to respect your fellow students the days there is no cleaning service and keep the communal kitchens and bathrooms as clean as possible.

Is there a medical center at 365?

We don’t have doctors working at 365. However, if you have a medical issue or emergency, we can give you information about hospitals or general practitioners close to our residence. The nearest hospital in the neighbourhood is “Chirec – site Delta”. For more information: chirec.be

Healthcare costs in Belgium are high, and if you are not covered by health insurance from your own country (EU citizens are required to have a European Health Insurance Card), we advice you to join a Belgian health insurance organisation, known locally as a "Mutuelle". As a student you will pay around $15/month. For more information: www.inami.fgov.be
