The rooms at WUJS are comfortable but very simple. Each room's kitchen has: a sink, a refrigerator and a two-burner hotplate. It has a few cupboards. Each room has its own bathroom with a shower. Your sleeping area has two beds, two desks, two chairs and a table. The walls are cement which means they are quiet but you can't use thumb-tacks to hang posters.

WUJS is located in a merkaz klita (absorption center) building. You are given the minimum that you will need for your room: a tea kettle, a pot, a frying pan, two cups, two forks, two knifes, and two spoons, pillows and linen. There is a small space heater in the room. Winter nights in Arad can be quite chilly. Many students buy more things for their room at the shuk (open-air market) that happens in Arad every Monday or at any of the local stores. I didn't find any of the prices for things I bought for my room outrageous. But if you think ahead and bring things with you then you won't have to spend your first week shopping. This is a good idea for people who don't speak Hebrew and aren't familiar with Israeli money.

Things you may want to buy your first week or bring with you:
pots and pans
forks, spoons etc.
a radio/alarm clock that runs on 220v
a 110v to 220v converter and a US type plug multiplier
posters/tapestries
