Learned a lot from the culture - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Past Review Incredible!
It was an incredible learning experience for me and my Jewish religion. I was able to experience Shabbat dinners and all Jewish culture that I had never witnessed before. I absolutely loved the Israeli people and was so welcomed into the community there. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Absolutely! - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned to completely immerse myself in another culture. I adjusted to their way of life and their customs. It was eye opening to see how another culture lives and goes about their daily lives. It was definitely worthwhile and I would do it again and again. - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
The best life experience. It was worthwhile. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

A student studying abroad with Tel Aviv University: Tel Aviv - Undergraduate Semester in Israel
Studying at TAU International was a memorable experience. Meeting new people from all over the world in such a beautiful environment made me feel like home. I never felt alone even though the majority of the students were from North America and I am from Europe. We had a lot of social activities and trips. The structures of our ... - Tel Aviv University View Entire Review
I gained a fundamentally new knowledge of the relationship between Israel and the United States. For those looking to challenge themselves, Israel provides many options. For those looking to party all the time, that is also an option. - Tulane University View Entire Review
Where do I begin! I learned what it's like to live in Tel Aviv: from grocery shopping, to public transportation, local cuisines - and all the while learning how to grow from the experience. It was life changing. - California State University - Chico View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile - Tufts University View Entire Review
Definitely the best semester of my college experience. I had been looking forward to studying abroad since freshmen year and my program and time in Tel Aviv did not disappoint. Tel Aviv is a great place to go, as there are many opportunities to be with Israelis and feel like less of a tourist. After visiting my friends studying ... - Cornell University View Entire Review
I learned the incredible impact a culture and people can have on me. I have learned to question and challenge every persons believes including myself. To To never be afraid to stand up for what I believe in and know is right, no matter the situation. To both protect others and try hard not to be a bully or stay silent when someo... - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I also was exposed to a lot of the media coverage Israel was receiving in the states but, living here myself for the six months made me realize how cultured and incredible the country is. The pride the citizens hold for their own country is remarkable and how modern Tel Aviv has become, no one would believe me. I came back a str... - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
Saying the program was amazing is an understatement. It changed a lot of lives for the better. You learn a lot about yourself getting out of your comfort zone and exploring a new place, but it was also so familiar and homey. Who does not want to live by the beach, shop local artists, and eat fresh food every day with people who ... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
it taught me how to be myself, and deal with struggles, like getting lost, not knowing the language, dealing with people that hard to get along with, and how to be independent. - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I learned about the world in general. Going abroad helped me learn so much about different cultures and different people. Going to Israel was amazing. I met such great people and learned a lot about the Middle Eastern Cultures. I felt like I was immersed in the Israeli culture. I liked my program because it was sort of a mix bet... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
My Hebrew improved considerably, I experienced a new culture, and I made amazing friends. I consider this trip extremely worthwhile. - University of Florida View Entire Review
My study abroad was an amazing experience! I really fell in love with Israel, and learned about Israeli culture and history. I would go back in a heartbeat! - Amherst College View Entire Review
I learned so much about the different societal, environmental, and social elements that make up Israel. I learned about how gratifying it is to study side by side with people who are passionate about Israel like I am. This experience was very worth while. - Brandeis University View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with Tel Aviv University: Tel Aviv - Undergraduate Semester in Israel
I learned so much that it's incredible. I wish I was still there. Israelis are known for their strong will, independence, pride, generosity, and graciousness. Since I was there for four months, I had the pleasure of being more than just a tourist. I coached skydiving to an Israeli, translated a web developing system from Hebr... - Ohio University View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with Tel Aviv University: Tel Aviv - Undergraduate Semester in Israel
While I was abroad, I grew into the person that I am today. I am a strong and independent woman and before I studied in Israel, I was sheltered and did not realize how much more was out there in the world. The lifestyle, culture, and sites of Tel Aviv are incredible and if I could, I would do it all over again, even the summer h... - University of Rhode Island View Entire Review
While abroad I took a large leap forward and matured. When returning home I was prepared and anxious to take on any experience and opportunity that came my way. - University of Vermont View Entire Review
I learned about and experienced the real Israel (good stuff and bad). Definitely worthwhile. Tel Aviv is one of the most beautiful and exciting cities I have been too. - Tufts University View Entire Review
Met lots of amazing people, and yes definitely worthwhile - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I pushed myself out of my comfort zone--since the program did not facilitate too much cultural immersion, I sought out opportunities myself. I had a great experience, for example, when I joined a salsa class by myself that was taught in Hebrew to Tel Aviv University students. I also enjoyed my classes and made an effort to get t... - Tufts University View Entire Review
