Hear from our students

The name of the course is representative of my primary goal this summer... I am seeking a college experience that will help me understand what will be expected from me once I finish high school. Also, I am trying to be exposed to as many professional fields as possible in order to help me choose a study path and career. Only a week into the course, I had already met so many great people, taken a tour of the campus, attended a startup accelerator program, and visited an urban landscape company. As a visitor to Egypt, this is a great cultural experience for me. The business environment is so creative and rich, and it’s wonderful to witness it firsthand as a student at the College Bound: AUC program.
