Avis sur Tel Aviv University (YAU)

i strongly recommend the tel aviv university, it's an exciting univeristy and the students are fairly mature which helps in the contact with staff and the way how studies are conducted, the facilities on campus are fantastic, beautiful campus, don't miss the gym or the swimming pool. they have many interesting courses and many unknown but overwhelming scholars, each faculty has certain strong research points. in general it's a university i would recommend to anyone, the education is fairly good if u are independent student who can get along by himself without pressure, but dont expect the university to give u everything, if u work hard in there you'll get way above what u think. go n see the languages center, you'll be surprised, into swahilli or czech? u can do it there

i think in the field of linguistics or classics if u r into the traditional stuff go for waxler courses in comparative linguistics or german. in general the courses are very friendly n the teachers a lot open, but mind the knowledge of hebrew even if the course is taught in english, even though almost no readings in hebrew are given at all. interesting stuff for people into theory of optimality and for people into classics definitely take the greek syntax with professor finkelberg but still mind your hebrew, it's quite hard to get along in this courses even though a very very very fluent english and a fair german would be the most helpful thing in the world. and don't forget to go and see the BA/MA counselors once in a while, they r really friendly n helpful. and don't trust when they tell u to take a beginner's course in anything, there's no such thing as beginner's courses... the level is dammit high and they'll screw u to the end, so then before you take a beginner's course take some months to read a lot about the subject and meet up with the lecturer before u decide on anything.

Recanati School of Business Administration receives a clear recommendation from me. May I add that the exchange experience you will receive by going to Israel will be exceptional. You will learn to understand different cultures, and gain insight into the political situation faced by the Israelis and the Palestinians. An extremely interesting experience.
