AUC is an exceptional university; the opportunities offered here are impressive. Meeting other international students was fascinating, as we all found a certain beauty in Egypt — unlike anywhere else. I look forward to joining student clubs, improving my Arabic and making lifelong friends. Only one week into studying at AUC and I'm already thinking about doing my master's here!

AUC is actually a paradise for ambitious people — plenty of opportunities.
During my time at AUC I was introduced to different networks and opportunities and challenged by different, intriguing intellectual endeavors. While balancing a leading position in extracurriculars and maintaining a high GPA is seen as unorthodox, this challenge enriched my AUC experience.
When I searched, I found AUC to be a good University. I like the campus. It's been great visiting Islamic Cairo and the Pyramids and meeting Egyptians and other international students. Everyone is really friendly.
