peoples. Stroll through a lively street market, or spend
an evening with friends at a trendy restaurant. Immerse
yourself in the lively arts scene, or volunteer with one
of the many nonprofit organizations serving the city’s
diverse residents. Through an independent study project,
you can also pursue a special interest that will connect
you to the city in a personal way.
Entrepreneurs, artists, scholars, scientists, and activists all
flock to Jerusalem, making it an exciting place to study
abroad. You’ll make new friends and new memories as
you discover first-hand Jerusalem’s rich history, as well as
its vibrant and innovative culture.

Israel. You’ll be invited to participate in a wide array of
trips, tours, and activities offered by the Office of Student
Life, such as a tour of Jerusalem’s Old City, a trip to the

taking place throughout the year. Living with other
