Study in jordan : Planning Your Trip

Two Jordanian universities are open to foreign students. The University of Jordan (Al-Jubaiha, Amman) has a more liberal atmosphere than the conservative Yarmouk University in Irbid (although you shouldn’t plan on wearing shorts at either). Students interested in Islamic culture, however, may enjoy the more rapid pace of study at Yarmouk. The University of Jordan has a special foreign students program and summer programs wliich are popular for those seeking colloquial and classical Arabic language instructions. Both schools also guarantee dormitory housing for women. A Jordanian embassy, consulate, or information bureau can provide further information on either school (see Essentials: Useful Addresses).
