Student’s Feedback:

    • Courses Feedback:
      I took a total of 3 courses. I wanted to take more, but the courses I took were called “system courses,” which means they came with a super heavy load. The level of the final exam was medium (easier than Technion), while the level of assignments was extremely advanced (way harder than Technion).
    • Campus Life, Activities, Culture, etc.:
      Nice campus, great sports center. The city is a bit boring; not a lot to do. People in the university are super ambitious. It’s good if you want to learn a lot but bad if you want to have the classic “American student experience.”
    • General Feedback:
      Awesome experience. I learned more in one semester than in a year at Technion. Studies are super hard, but it pays off back in Israel. Take good winter gear; US winter is no piece of cake!
