Clothing
On-campus dress is fairly casual. Most students attend classes and campus events in jeans and T-shirts. You may want to bring modest attire for visits to religious sites in Israel. Plan to bring semi-formal attire for professional meetings and networking, special occasions and nights out.
Most of the year is warm or even hot – but because of air conditioning, make sure to pack a few sweaters or a shawl.
In winter, warm clothing is necessary. The weather can be rainy, damp, and cold from December until March.
A pair of good walking shoes is a must for trips and sightseeing.

If you are taking a prescribed medication, you should bring a supply to last the duration of your time in Israel. It is also recommended that you bring your prescription with you should you need to have it refilled.
