Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

On-site administration of your program

In general, the program administration was very helpful. However, there were a few instances of bureaucratic red tape that just seemed like a waste of time. Many students were disrespectful to the staff and in return the staff was less excited to help any of the students. This was unfortunate for both parties but especially students who were never disrespectful.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Einstein B, Ramat Aviv, Israel <br /><br /> I would have preferred to live with a host family or with Israelis - if anything my Hebrew acquisition was deterred by living with Americans. The dorms were very nice and brand new. However, the dorms were located in Ramat Aviv which is a quiet suburb of Tel Aviv. For students looking to get the full Tel Aviv experience, an apartment in the city would be preferable.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

I was not interested in building relationships with the other program participants. They were loud, rude and embodied stereotypes of spoiled American Jews.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
