Student Reviews
A future neuroscientist!
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
It is a good university but it doesn't have neuroscience bachelor's degree, which interests me most.
awesome
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I have really enjoyed my studies at Bar Ilan and the subjects that I took have been very enriching and makes me want to learn more. The professors were very helpful and paid individual attention to the students and they put in a lot of effort to teach us the subjects in different ways so that everyone could understand.
outstanding department and university atmosphere
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
in my opinion the criminology department was outstanding with great people. i have enjoyed the classes and was very interested in what was learned. what unfortunately did not work for me was the heavy religious aspect that was in the university. i did know before enrolling and i have preformed according but that was a down point for me.
