At Almujam, we believe that a student's academic success is closely tied to their overall living experience. A well-organized and comfortable home environment can be just as impactful as quality instruction, effective curriculum, and a supportive classroom atmosphere.
For this reason, our dedicated housing support team assists students with all aspects of accommodation. This includes helping with housing placement, matching students with compatible housemates, and offering guidance on budgeting, essential items to bring, and day-to-day life in Amman.
Over the past fifteen years, students have consistently expressed how valuable these services have been to their overall learning experience. While such personalized support is uncommon at most Arabic institutes in the region, we consider it a central part of our responsibility as your hosts throughout your time in Amman.
To ensure that every student has a place to stay, we have developed a clear process for requesting housing. This process applies to all students who are not part of a prearranged housing agreement through a Partner Program.
All students—whether new or returning—must complete the housing form prior to the beginning of the term. This applies to anyone planning to use Almujam Housing or to arrange their own Independent Housing.
If you meet these criteria after the launch of the housing campaign, you will receive access to the form once the campaign begins.
At Almujam, we do not consider student housing a secondary concern. In fact, we view it as a critical factor in the overall success of your study abroad experience. A safe, functional, and thoughtfully arranged living space is essential to helping you focus, feel secure, and thrive during your time in Amman.
Many students have joined top-tier Arabic programs and studied with inspiring instructors, only to find their experience deeply affected by inadequate housing conditions. From broken showers and unreliable internet to uncomfortable furniture and unhelpful landlords, these challenges can turn an exciting journey into a daily struggle.
We believe that your housing situation should support your learning—not distract from it. That is why we have taken the time to speak with students over the past decade to understand their housing experiences in Amman, especially those who chose to arrange accommodation independently.
Common Challenges Faced by Students in Independent Housing
To keep things simple and flexible, Almujam offers two primary housing options:
Almujam Housing (fully managed by our team)
Independent Housing (student-arranged, with optional guidance from us)
Each of these options is designed to suit different personalities, needs, and levels of independence.

Our Recommendation for First-Term Students
For first-term students, our clear and strong recommendation is to choose Almujam Housing. It minimizes stress and logistical challenges, allowing you to focus on your academic goals from day one.
Once you are more familiar with Amman and local culture, you may consider transitioning to Independent Housing for future terms.
Past students who started with Almujam Housing often chose to later explore different neighborhoods or live with Arabic-speaking housemates to fully immerse themselves in the language. This progression is natural, and we support it fully for students who feel ready.
