Substantially lower than Amman for rent, food and transport — one of the main reasons students choose Irbid.
The city is compact and walkable in its central student districts; the JUST campus at Ar-Ramtha is further out and normally reached by university transport or shared taxis.
Cheaper than Amman by a wide margin, with a deep private rental market oriented to students. University housing is also available at the main institutions.
Dense student social life, cafés and affordable food, with a strong local culture. Ajloun, Umm Qais, Jerash and the northern Jordan Valley are within easy reach for weekend visits.
