To do this, you will need to go to your local consulate and fill out some paperwork. A student visa will not affect aliyah rights in any way. This deposit will be deducted from tuition costs. The Yeshiva is not affiliated with any one ulpan, but can recommend several fine programs with a range of levels and schedules. Our students find that living in an apartment rather than in a dormitory is a valuable opportunity to interact with Israeli society.
Many students find apartments ahead of time by word of mouth, or when they arrive in Israel.
There are also several bulletin boards and flat-hunting services available to which the Yeshiva can direct you. Some Yeshiva students live with one another, some with students from other learning institutions, some with friends from home, and some with Israelis found through apartment services. Students are responsible for bringing their own meals to the Yeshiva. Our kitchen area contains plenty of cabinet and drawer space for student use and a large table for communal meals, as well as a refrigerator, microwave, toaster over, stovetop, and hot water. We are happy to give you whatever advice and assistance we can.
