Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Although the dorms are really outdated and disgusting, they are the best choice. I lived in Einstein and it literally took no more than 5 seconds to get to the main entrance of the university! At first, I was stuck with weird American roomates even though I originally asked to be placed with Israeli or other foreign students. The housing office through the exchange office and Israeli office were very accommadating in helping me find vacancies in other rooms and I was able to then find an apartment with three other Israeli roommates who turned out to be awesome! The dorms are a real social place and I don't know how I would found my friends if I hadn't lived there.

Personal comments
Everyone speaks English there. I think I learnt 3 new words/phrases the whole time I was there. I did not make an effort to learn the language at all, I did not go there to learn it at all.

Course recommendations
They're all great- really interesting and easy and the professors are really nice and great! Try to take some English literature classes offered through the university so you can interact with Israeli students in their own classroom!
