Beer-Sheva

With its unpretentious people and vibrant student life, Beer-Sheva is quickly developing into a desert hotspot for young students. Located on the edge of the Negev desert, this growing city retains the feel of an exotic, distant land—making it a great choice for students who want more than just the “same old, same old.”

Beer-Sheva is home to Ben-Gurion University, a pioneering teaching and research center with over 19,000 students, a large campus, and a welcoming dorm life. If you’re looking to take a break from the books, you can practice your bargaining skills at the weekly Bedouin shuk (market) where vendors sell everything from carpets to coffee. Nearby sits The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies in the southern Negev—expansive desert landscape punctuated by color cliffs and hidden ravines—where nature meets the classroom.
