Accommodations
Career Israel provides you with accommodation in central locations in Tel Aviv,
Jerusalem or Haifa. Please be aware that housing standards in Israel may be
very different than those of your home country. Apartments in Israel are
generally far smaller than their counterparts in the United States, and
therefore your Career Israel housing may be very different from college
dormitory standards in your home country or from your previous housing
experiences.
Tel Aviv:
The Career Israel Tel Aviv housing is located at 37 King George St., in the heart of Tel Aviv, walking distance from the beach, Dizengoff Center and many other Tel Aviv attractions. The dorm-like apartments are divided into 2, 3 or 4 person units. The units vary in size and structure and are assigned randomly during the orientation of the program. Two person units are essentially two people to a studio apartment consisting of one room with its own bathroom and kitchenette. Three person units are larger versions of the two person unit, with three people sharing one large room. Quads (four person units) are two adjoining bedrooms and a common kitchenette and bathroom in between. A limited amount of single units are available at an extra cost.
Use the interactive map of Tel Aviv to learn more about the city.
Jerusalem:
The accommodations in Jerusalem are in the Mt. Scopus Student village. Five participants share an apartment with a common kitchenette (including a refrigerator, microwave, stove-top and electric kettle), a living room and bathrooms.
Each participant has his or her own small room furnished with a bed, a closet and a desk. Laundry and cleaning services are not provided, but can be found within the village area.
In addition, the accommodations are within walking distance of the French Hill commercial center where there is a supermarket, pharmacy and other stores. It is also within walking distance of the Mt. Scopus campus of Hebrew University.
Participants have the option of joining the university fitness center for a discounted rate. It is not within walking distance of the city center; however there is frequent bus service to most locations in Jerusalem.
Haifa:
The Haifa housing is located in the Bat Galim neighborhood, near the coast. Participants will be living in college dormitory housing and will each have their own room. Please check the site at a later date for pictures.
Independent (non- Career Israel sponsored) Housing: Participants can choose to live in their own housing that they arrange independently for the duration of the program. Participants who do so will be responsible for arriving on their own to ulpan and educational programming and for covering the cost of their commute from their housing to the programming. Participants interested in this option must inform the Career Israel staff six weeks prior to the start date of the program. The cost of the February 2010 session of the Career Israel program for those who choose to live in independent housing for the duration of the program will be $4100. The cost of the program for those who choose to live in the Career Israel housing for the ulpan segment of the program and who will live independently for the internship portion of the program is $4400. The cost of the program will be reported to MASA as such. Participants who decide to live independently after the start date of the program will be charged the full cost of the program and will not receive any discount.
