How our students rated their experience in Amman
What our students said about Amman
Amman is noisy, the air quality is not great and the public transportation is very limited and hard to navigate. However, the people are warm and friendly and the city is located near a lot of very interesting places.
A welcoming city, with plenty of road traffic and easy access to the sights. Despite the crisis in Israel/Gaza, a feeling of security and relaxation at the school's location.

The climate: it was cold therefore only 2 stars. Climate outside is not a problem, the problem is that it is also very cold inside. Sometimes colder than outside.

Unfortunately, there are few public transports and they are poorly signposted or hardly understandable for foreigners

It is very close to the dormitory and there is a supermarket nearby, so it is not difficult to find it, and wherever you go, you easily take bus or taxi. Also important streets like downtown & rainbow is near.
