Really good university experience, but not necessarily the best cultural experience

Upsides:
- The AUC campus is amazing. It is gorgeous, clean, and offers all the infrastructure that you need and much more. Expecially the sports complex is incredible.
- There are usually just a dozen (maximum two dozen) students in each class, which renders the learning experience very intimate. The professors are skilled and accessible.
- There are many activities offered on campus, and many student associations / sports clubs to choose from.
- The Arabic classes are of great quality.

Downsides:
- The new campus is quite far from the city center
- The whole environment can feel a bit elitist at times. Altough AUC is a good start, if you want to experience the "real" Egypt, meaning the whole of the Egyptian society, you need to go outside the uni and get to meet non-AUCians as well.

Overall a really great university experience and a decent but not complete cultural experience.
