ISA housing provides the opportunity for students to experience aspects of the Jordanian lifestyle that are inaccessible to the average visitor to Jordan. All ISA housing options are either within walking distance or conveniently located to public transit routes. Travel times to the various university buildings generally range between 5 and 45 minutes depending on housing and class locations. For more information on transportation in Amman, click here.
The experience of living in another culture will be both educational and rewarding so long as you stay open-minded and reasonable at all times. There are differences in culture and lifestyle between Jordan and the U.S. Remember: the key to a positive experience is flexibility. With this in mind, you can become a true Ammani.

The university female students' dorms are equipped with all facilities, including Wi-Fi, national and international telephone service, and access to public transportation. The dormitory is located on the campus of Al-Ahliyya Amman University, within walking distance of all of their classes and university facilities.
