The campus is beautifully designed, blending modern facilities with traditional Egyptian architecture, making it a vibrant and inspiring place to learn. Academically, the university offers a rigorous curriculum with highly qualified professors who are supportive and approachable.

What truly sets AUC apart is the emphasis on critical thinking and real-world applications, preparing students for global challenges.

My experience in AUC

In AUC, all restaurants and cafés use disposable items. Most of the students buy coffees or lunch there on a daily basis, which means that they are producing a worrying amount of waste. This is therefore a huge problem that should be addressed. Students are not aware of how detrimental that is and do not fight against it. What is more, many students litter the campus and there are no campaigns are concerned with raising awareness of this matter. Besides, the union does not seem to organize activities or campaigns that truly tackle students' needs.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would not sleep in the dorms. Although the facilities are amazing, it is better to enjoy downtown Cairo. New Cairo is empty and it is quite boring to hang out there.
Pros
  • Free facilities: swimming pool, gym, sports fields
  • Free activities
Cons
  • Disposable items --> plastic
  • Private education should not exist

AUC is one of the most beautiful colleges in the world

I am an international student at AUC and have been thoroughly impressed by how beautiful and well maintained the university is. Not only are there hundreds of fruit trees, beautiful walkways, water fountains and more, the college is very kind and understanding and offer a lot of support for students. They accepted me even though I applied past the deadline, and were very generous. I also appreciate how they have all of the staff speak in English so international students can feel comfortable. If you're thinking about studying at AUC, don't walk, run!
