Housing & Meals

Housing

CIEE Amman offers various housing options, including homestays or shared apartments, located in neighborhoods with convenient access to the center of Amman. Homestays are situated in different parts of the city and vary in distance from CIEE Amman. Apartments are roughly 15 minutes from downtown and other lively parts of the city but are a bit further from CIEE Amman (under 50 minutes).

Standard Housing: Includes a single room at a homestay or a single or double-room apartment.

Homestays: Homestays boast a kitchen, living room, and bathroom shared with a host family. In some cases, a suitable homestay may not be available for every interested student and therefore some students will be placed in an apartment.
Apartments: Single-room apartments are modest in size, featuring fewer amenities and a charming kitchenette. Double-room apartments offer a larger living room, a shared bathroom, and a full-size kitchen.

Meals

Homestay: Students in homestays generally eat two meals a day with their families during the week, and most meals on weekends. Students are responsible for their weekday lunches.
Student Apartments: Students selecting the apartment option must budget for all meals, as they are not included in the program fee.

Academic Culture

CIEE courses are scheduled Sunday through Thursday. Students should expect to have daily homework assignments and continuous assessment. Class attendance is mandatory, and absences affect final grades. CIEE courses are designed to follow U.S. academic culture and standards.

In general, Jordanian pedagogical teaching approach is more formal and professor centered, seen as the instructor mainly leading the lectures and facilitating the course discussions. The presence of international students in local courses is highly valued by instructors as they see it as an opportunity to present foreign perspectives to the local audience. Arabic might be used in the classroom.

Classes at PSUT are typically scheduled Sunday through Thursday and taught in person but there are some hybrid courses that are taught at PSUT. Most courses have a first, mid-term and a final exam, some courses will require the submission of reports, research and/or homework. Students should expect to receive minimal feedback from professors.

To avoid falling behind, students should not plan personal travel out of Amman when classes are in session and plan trips for the long weekends.  

Class Format

Courses taught at the CIEE Center are typically for CIEE students only. Host Institution classes include both local and international students. A typical class schedule includes a combination of both CIEE and Host Institution-administered classes, and will span from Sunday to Thursday. Classes at both CIEE and Host Institution meet 1-3 times per week, for anywhere from 1-3 hours per class session, depending on the course. Attendance in CIEE classes is strictly enforced, both for classes and required co-curricular excursions. CIEE course instruction is supported and augmented online by CIEE’s learning management system, Canvas.

Grading

CIEE reports all final course grades to students’ home institutions using a U.S. letter grade equivalent scale of A-F. For CIEE-administered courses, students’ grades are based on attendance, class participation, homework, project work, presentations, and midterm and final examinations. Learning outcomes assessment is continuous through personal reflections, evaluation feedback, self-assessment, and requirements as set out in course syllabi. Host Institution courses are graded using a 20-point grading scale, and primary assessments may be held as either oral or written examinations, and final exams are typically worth 50-70% of the final grade for the course. Attendance is compulsory in Host Institution classes. Students must attend a minimum of 80% of all class sessions to be permitted to sit for the final exam.

CIEE reports final grades for host institution courses using recommended U.S. letter grade equivalencies, following a predetermined grade conversion scale.
