Study Abroad

There is an interesting variety of courses offered, including topics like Arab-Israeli Relations, Contemporary Arb Thought & Culture, and Israeli Literature. The classes are somewhat rigorous, but the workload is very manageable and does not require too much time studying as opposed to exploring around Israel. The staff and professors are all very nice and ready to help with any issues, or just to chat and give tips about life in Israel.
Students are able to live in on-campus dorms in either single or double rooms, in suites with a kitchen, as there is no meal plan or dining hall. The dorms are like any other typical college dorm room.
The trips organized by the International School are excellent opportunities to see Israeli sites with a great tour guide, without requiring students to spend a bunch of money to do so.
The only downside to the university is that it is perched on top of a mountain, so students have to take the bus to get anywhere off campus (markets, restaurants, the beach, etc.)
