Campus and city
HUJI's life is spread across six campuses, anchored by Mount Scopus — a hilltop site with sweeping views over a city of unparalleled historical, religious and cultural depth, housing humanities, law, business, Jewish studies and the Rothberg International School. The Edmond J. Safra campus at Givat Ram is the science hub, Ein Kerem the medical campus shared with Hadassah, and Rehovot the agricultural campus. Roughly 2,000 international students from ~90 countries (about 10% of ~23,000 total) cluster around Rothberg, which builds a genuine international community and runs Hebrew ulpan immersion. Jerusalem offers extraordinary heritage and a serious intellectual atmosphere, but it is more politically tense and divided than Tel Aviv, has a high cost of living, and daily life can be intermittently affected by the regional security situation; domestic cohorts also skew older because of Israel's mandatory military service.
