Rooms for married couples can be arranged. The dormitories have a TV and clubroom, computer room and study rooms. Although the kitchen facilities are not supplied with cooking utensils, students are NOT encouraged to bring cooking utensils from abroad. Instead, these supplies can be purchased inexpensively at local markets. In addition, a grocery store, kosher cafeterias, and snack bars are located on campus.
Large supermarkets are easily accessible off campus.
The University of Haifa requires that ALL students who are enrolled in university programs must be covered by health insurance. An Israeli health insurance plan is available, and the coverage is both inexpensive and comprehensive. An Israeli insurance form will be mailed to applicants upon request, and an agent from the insurance company that serves university students will be present at registration for students who want to sign up. Students may bring a health insurance policy from their home countries, but they should check to make sure the policy is valid in Israel. They should bring an insurance card with the policy number.
