Students and faculty live in a tent camp near the site which is adjacent to a small forest. Food is provided from the kitchen of a nearby kibbutz. On weekends, students are encouraged to travel around the country. Following the excavation, students learn the basics of archaeological data analysis by helping to process artifacts from the Nahal Tillah Project in the laboratories of the Nelson Glueck School of Biblical Archaeology at the Hebrew Union College in Je rusalem. Overlooking the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, the Hebrew Union College has an outstanding library, classrooms, and research collections.
Students live in a youth hostel near the college.
