University Students Returning to Israel
American student enrollment at Israeli universities is on the upswing, some U.S. institutions are mending broken ties, and others are initiating new contacts.\n\nAlthough given numbers differ, there is broad agreement that after the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada in September 2000, enrollment from the United States plummeted 75 to 90 percent in the following two or three years.\n\nAmong the hardest hit was the Hebrew University\’s popular year-abroad program at the Rothberg International School.
