The Aguda (Student Union) is the official student body for all of Ben Gurion University's students.
Based in Be'er Sheva, the Aguda organizes exciting and interesting events on an almost daily basis. The Aguda also addresses issues related to the welfare of the student body as a whole and of individual students. Members of the Aguda are even entitled to unlimited access to the University's Sports Center in Be'er Sheva. All students are able to join the Aguda by paying the "welfare/student activity" fee at the beginning of the academic year.
To learn more about the Aguda, visit their website (English or Hebrew). The Aguda also sends out a weekly update in English specifically for international students (sign up). Or just check the Aguda out on Facebook!
Laundry
There are three laundry rooms on campus:
- The first laundry room is located by the last row of the old apartments (building 30) and has 4 washing machines and a dryer.
- The second laundry room is located in a small white building in the caravan area and has two washing machines and a dryer.
- The third laundry room is located in the new dorm area (building 70.3) and has 2 washing machines
All machines require a 5 NIS coin to operate (some machines also work with 5 of 1-shekel coins).
It is important to set a reminder to pick up your laundry after finishing for others to use. Especially in the weekend.
Sometimes the machines needs maintanance, so if you see that the machines don't clean your cloths, but make them dirty, please send a picture of the dirty cloths to the council email with the date you did laundry in and we will send it to the administration.
