Great experience

One of the few universities in the Middle East that makes it relatively easy for Americans to apply for a single semester and get full transferrable credit - if you're interested in the region, definitely consider it! I've really valued my time here.

My classes have been interesting, the campus is gorgeous, and the other students are super friendly and willing to help. Cairo is very fun city - there are always new things going on, and outlets for any type of person. Egypt is also a wonderful country, with a ton to see. I didn't realize how much I would want to travel within Egypt before coming here, but I've found one semester to be not nearly enough to check out everything I have wanted to do. The American University in Cairo offers a great opportunity to study and experience this beautiful country!
