Alternative uni options: Israel

Some of you may know that last year I applied to the Technion Institute of Technology in Israel, among other schools. You're probably wondering why. One of my reasons was Israel's reputation as a tech powerhouse.

I recently read a very relevant article in the Straits Times, reproduced from the New York Times, about how Tel Aviv (the capital of Israel) is becoming a hotbed of technological innovation. I've uploaded the article here:

NYTimes - The Tel Aviv Cluster by David Brooks

Even if you're not interested in studying there, read the article. It'll broaden your perspective and perhaps cast some light on my thought process!
