Is New Brunswick like Belgium?

It the most bilingual province in terms of the designated official languages.

No. Think closer to Louisiana Cajun with better pronunciation.

They are pretty much exactly the same in terms of having red blood and emotions. Other than that, everything else is regional and cultural. /s

Do more NB students take French courses?

As an Ontarian New Brunswick is often seen as a "flyover" province.

As a bilingual Ontarian who has partied with NB'ers I'd compare them more to the MOST CANADIAN than any euro accolade or designation.

It's a huge island with some urban pockets and lots of rural wooded space. And coastline. And both official languages. Aside from a glacier it has everything this great country can offer and the people reflect that.

Belgium is a joke by comparison.

I agree with a lot of what you said (except the island part, what do you mean there?), but your final sentence seems overly dismissive of Belgium.

Beer, comics, chocolate, they have a lot going for them and that's just what I know from peering in.
