"A Resort they Call University"

The title is how an American friend in a study abroad program described the AUC's campus, which I found so accurate; the best thing about AUC is probably its campus indeed, with excellent and unique architecture and a vast and biologically diverse garden. It is also characterized by a vibrant atmosphere, led by exciting and recurrent student-led activities and events. You will also meet people with radically diverse backgrounds and interests. Overall, Cairo is a lot of fun; you can hardly get bored.
Academically, I think the University is pretty good, but I advise you to search for the specific courses you will take. Overall, get a good professor, and you're safe.
