High Quality Education
Sarah O
Egypt, Undergraduate
Journalism, 2007
Overall
The American University in Cairo provided me with a high-standard level of education. For the most part, the professors are highly proficient, especially in the humanities courses that I particularly focused on. The journalism courses are extraordinary and it really broadened my horizons. 

I attended the university's old campus, however the new campus is a sight to see! It is a huge campus with many amenities for students studying there. 

I would highly recommend this university to anyone coming to Cairo from abroad to study and learn arabic at the same time!

Overall
Is the gold standard for education in Egypt. With a very flexible program if courses, one can really learn alot especially when you also get to choose course of interest or maybe even get a minor degree. The university has one of the best campuses around the world and host various opportunities for learning, communal participation, along with a host of extracurricular activities.

The best university in Egypt
Mina A

Overall
It is a good place to make a network and study at the same time. It has a career center to guide you to the ideal jobs. Teachers are quite good and friendly. The system of teaching is perfect because it depends on liberal arts.

Overall
the administration doesn't take students or parents feedback regarding any significant topic into consideration. very authoritarian leadership, and because of that everything is going downhill.

Final comments
There is really a lot to see not only in Cairo, but all over Egypt. I would definately recommend visiting this country at least once due to the diversity in almost everything. Also, the local people are very friendly and it is not difficult to talk to people and to create a circle of friends.
