56% of the students are men, of whom 67% are married. Women constitute 44% of the students, of whom 35% are married. 86% of students are aged 18–30.
Campus Management holds "stage," in which public officials meet with students. As part of the stage, President Shimon Peres, Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi, Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer, Labor leader MK Shelly Yachimovich, and former media personality Yair Lapid were hosted on campus. During his visit, Lapid announced that the Haredim had won the struggle for the country's identity and that he shared his father's path with ultra-Orthodox Yeshiva, who opposed the government.
Among the graduates of the campus, Knesset members Yigal Guetta, Moshe Arbel, Uriel Buso, Omer Yankelevich and Amnon Cohen.
