Students

BGU's students are known for their activities in the community, and thousands of them take part in special outreach projects.

Ben-Gurion University is the most popular university among Israeli undergraduates.

More than 19,000 students from Israel, the Negev region and around the world are drawn to BGU, where the pioneering spirit flourishes.

Here, students get the best of both worlds: a dynamic and highly expert faculty who are leading departments that can compete with any other in Israel, and a vibrant community life.

The relatively low student to faculty ratio allows for a personal rather than an institutionalized approach to learning. Students and faculty work closely together on inspiring and cutting-edge research projects, and engage in community outreach programs.

A unique campus environment unlike any other in Israel, BGU is home to an active Student Association. More than 30 extracurricular clubs and numerous cultural events, holiday parties and lecture series enhance student life.

In addition to modern, comfortable dorms, students on the multicultural, international, and high-energy Marcus Family Campus enjoy a movie theater, well-equipped sports center, pubs, restaurants, bookstores, and state-of-the-art computer libraries and laboratories.
