Bar-Ilan University is located on the outskirts of Ramat Gan and Bnei Brak, on the borders of Givat Shmuel and Kiryat Ono. Thanks to its central location, Bar-Ilan can be reached from many places around the country, easily accessible by both public transportation and private vehicles. We are also happy to see that many students have chosen to live close to the university and make their way to campus on foot or by bicycle.
