Everyone at AUC is extremely welcoming and open to sharing experiences…I’ve already met a lot of cool people who I can happily call friends. They’ve given me quite an authentic Egyptian experience that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. The experience outside of the classroom is unforgettable…I wish I had more time.
