Ben gurion university of the negev Reviews

It is a top research university in the southern part of Israel. It was named after David Ben Gurion the first prime minister of Israel. It has a mix of international students from all over the world. The research and teaching facilities are world class with world class lecturers. Their research scope cuts across cyber security, robotics, desert studies, water technologies, engineering, etc.

I joined Ben Gurion University for my postdoctoral research work in 2015. I stayed for three years. I enjoyed my stay. The university offers accommodation for post doctoral fellows which makes easier relocation from a different country. They do have a useful international students office that assist you with visa processing unlike other Israeli universities which are not that helpful to foreign students. The cost of living in Beersheba is quite low unlike other cities which makes the postdoc, PhD salary ideal for studying in Ben Gurion university. The down side is the slow processing style from the administration. You will have to make numerous visits to the office to get things done. The other problem is the bills for the dormitory. I believe no mathematician could figure out how they arrive at such bill values. The dorm managers are often rude and are very rude when you approach them regarding problems in facilities. There are few trips for international students which are a lot of fun and costs only 5-10 dollars and often comes with a meal. University has the best facilities. I can t comment on other areas of research. My area of research in optics in electrical and computer engineering had all the necessary facilities. Overall a good experience and I recommend this university for post doc in optics.

A great place to learn and improve your critical thinking ability in the field of research as well as personality development. I would say this is another place for me to enhance the knowledge of "Research".
However many other places are here like Negev brigade Memorial, Negev Mall and BIG. So, you can go to these places and enjoy.
Very friendly environment but because of lockdown it hard to feel and see it.
Thanks,

Very big university,vast lands , over 20k students

But doesn't invest in its students, talking about engineering, take advantage of its students.

Very beautiful Campos, many many fields to study endless possibilities.

Applications for robots only

Quite a solid university in Israel. The faculty of engineering has quite a good reputation. The highlight of the place is the friendly studential atmosphere.
