Personal recommendation

Since Be'er-Sheva is not in the highly populated area of Israel, we always felt safe. However, since Israel is a small country, we could easily travel to other cities and tour around, or simply go to a nature reserve for a great hike.

It took 2 years to complete the Mgr programm. It was very convenient program which allowed me to continue working during studying. Campus is very nice. Easy to get there by train from different areas in Israel.
Teachers were very profesional and some of them were working in the specific area they teached, which brings practical experience into the studying course.

Pros

Convenient schedule for Mgr. degree.

Cons

Far from the center of Israel.

It is amazing. I think the best type of people for this program are laid back, independant, open-minded, and fun loving. I loved my experience so much that I am returning this year for the MAPMES (masters program).

It was the best year of my life, no joke. I met amazing people, I explored the country, I learned so much inside and outside of the classroom. It was the best time ever.
