debt, sadness, new perspective on pollution, and a free hoodie. A student - Bard College View Entire Review
It was very much worthwhile! I learned a lot from my experience - about my self and about other people that I met. I learned to stay more openminded to (difficult) challenges. I have learned several new ways of being a student, methods of studying etc. Kristine Benthien Frederiksen - Aarhus University View Entire Review
i gained responsibility in addition to learning about different cultures Hala Majed - The American University in Cairo View Entire Review
It was definitely worth it! I learned so much about the world and people. Not necessarily from the classes I took, but just by living and being emerged in this country. A student View Entire Review
Learned Arabic, learned to feel comfortable in a new environment, learned to put myself out into the community A student - Freie Universität Berlin View Entire Review
Yes, you must get away from your host culture to truly appreciate all that God has created. Thomas Friday - The American University in Cairo View Entire Review
Actually before coming here, I was expecting a different experience. I had lots of bad moments because of the challenging life conditions in Egypt, however, AUC and AUC community always helped me. For academic purposes, it is different than European education system, the university totally adapts the American system. Even though... A student - Bogazici University View Entire Review
It definitely was. I had been wanting to move to Egypt for years, and this was a great way to transition me into it. As much as I disagree with the dominant societal values, I will likely stay here. There's an authenticity in this country (outside the uni) that I never saw back home. Briana Nirenberg - The American University in Cairo View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and about the culture. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
not only did I get a chance to learn more about a new culture, I was able to improve my Arabic skills significantly neethi.vasudevan - The College of New Jersey View Entire Review
I learned a lot about how I interact with people in different political settings and I gained a lot more confidence in handling hostility. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I went back to my roots. It was worthwhile A student - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
Very worthwhile, able to truly embrace a new culture Christina - American University of Paris View Entire Review
Cairo is a wonderful place to live! The city is chaotic, charming and diverse. So much to experience. Living in Cairo and studying at AUC has been a great way to get insight into life in the middle east, and I have also been very satisfied with the academic opportunities at AUC. Definitely worth it! Camilla - University of Bergen / UiB View Entire Review
I learned a lot about cultural exchanges. Found familiarity in customs, beliefs, values and idioms share with my Mexican American culture. Sandra Preciado - University of the Incarnate Word View Entire Review
All my classes very really interesting and of high quality. I was making a lot of progress in my Arabic class. The locals are very curious and easy-going most of the time, I had no trouble integrating. I had a lot of fun and a really good experience The only (slightly) negative thing I can think of is that the university can so... A student - Université de Genève / University of Geneva View Entire Review
Everyone told me it was going to be hard living in Cairo, but honestly now after 4 months I’m still wondering what they were referring to. It’s been very different, and nothing is as it’s “supposed” to be but everything get done and sorted anyway, just never in the way you assumed. Which is what makes everyday in Cairo exciting.... A student View Entire Review
I became more responsible as I had to survive on a little bit of money. I believe this experience well-prepared me for life. Alamir Andro Yacoub - The American University in Cairo View Entire Review
I learned so much about Cairo and about Egypt as a whole - definitely worthwhile A student - The College of William and Mary View Entire Review
After living by myself for 5 months in Egypt, I can easily say I was shocked by how independent and self-sufficient I became. Working through a language barrier in your daily life isn't easy, but things got much easier after the first few weeks Hanna Madkour - University of Minnesota - Twin Cities View Entire Review
I have improved my Arabic significantly, also I have figured out how to survive in a crowded and wild place like Cairo Nick V - Eberhard Karls Universitat Tubingen \ University of Tubingen View Entire Review
My Arabic immensely improved in Egypt since I was able to speak with locals. I also look Egyptian, which definitely forced me to learn it faster. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Really try and LIVE abroad, not just study! Living in a bubble with fellow students is not fun, so take all the opportunities to immerse yourself in the local culture, especially if that is one of your intentions in studying abroad! Michelle M - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
money management. English grammar. It was pretty worthwhile. A student - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
