Tel Aviv University (YAU)

All of the students are there. It's extremely social and like a big party. Neighborhood is great. Very close to campus, the mall, restaurants. Easy to make friends living there.

I spent more on food because the kitchen wasn't equipped for cooking much. There was no oven, just a stove, so we ate out alot. I spent more on the telephone for obvious reasons, although it was very inexpensive to call the US. The drinks and cover charges can be pricey, but worth it. I traveled all of the country and Europe during my stay, so that was a substantial cost. It's also easy to spend alot because the mall is down the block.

I should have stayed for the full year program instead of just the semester.

It's highly, highly recommended. The campus is amazing. Weather is beautiful. Very close to the beach. All of the overseas students were very close. Tel Aviv is such a fun city. I have not a bad thing to say. Best six months of my life. I met my husband there too!

Large selection. Great professors. Very interesting classes. I had the opportunity to take classes of a wide variety very different from my course of study at home. I learned more in that semester than any other. Work load is not bad at all. Most of learning takes place by listening to interesting professors. It's great to take classes about the Israeli culture, such as politics and the Arab Israeli conflict.

None.
