Studying in Irbid: A few pre-departure questions

Jordan, of the Islamic countries, is a very liberal place depending on your city of choice. Bigger cities like Amman or college towns like Irbid have all sorts of people and all sorts of method of dress. Use your discretion. You can get away with anything you like within reason, but test the water first. You'll get less (note I say less, not none) attention from the Jordanian males if you wear things that at least cover your shoulders and go to your knees. If you are Muslim and not a hijabi I do not advise wearing full hijab attire unless circumstances demand it; once you put it on in public and are seen by enough people wearing it, you can never take it off without ire. Btw Sherri, love you!
