Reichman University cannot guarantee student housing on campus for exchange students. Please note – rooms in the dormitories for exchange students are extremely limited with only 10 rooms available for full-year exchange students. Therefore placement is subject to availability on a first-come, first-serve basis.

We highly recommend for our exchange students to look at great housing alternatives offered in the Herzliya and Tel Aviv area. Students should choose to look independently for off campus living arrangement.
Suggestions from the International School (RRIS) to find apartments in Herzliya/Tel Aviv:
Additional Information:
"Sokolov Street" is the main street in the city of Herzliya (about a 15 min. walk from Reichman University campus). Many students who choose to stay in the city, live around there, as it is convenient and close to the central bus station, supermarkets, restaurants, and other shops.
Please note that real estate agencies are scattered around Herzliya and Tel Aviv and agents will gladly assist you in finding an apartment. Keep in mind that the student would have to pay the agent's fee (usually equivalent to one months' rent + VAT). Keep this in mind when approaching an agent.
Things to consider asking a realtor before renting:
- Is the realtor licensed?
- Is there a realter fee? How much is it?
- Is there a security deposit?
- When/how is the deposit returned?
- Is there a cleaning fee?
- How much needs to be paid when signing? How is the amount paid (check, cash, etc.)?
- Can you send me the final contract before signing?
- Will the final contract be in English or Hebrew?
- Who is responsible to fix any issues in the apartment?
- If shared apartment: Will I be in an apartment with only females/males? Could my room door have its own lock?
- What is the policy regarding refund/breaking lease in case of national emergency or due to any other situation?
