Housing Options Abroad

​​​Finding housing abroad for a short period of time is one of the tasks that every exchange student faces. While some host universities will offer the option of dorms, many won't.

That's why BGU Internati​onal is collaborating with HousingAnywh​ere, the international housing platform for mobile talents.
