"I really enjoyed the Cairo Middle Eastern Civilizations program. It was a fantastic opportunity to immerse myself in Egyptian culture. The staff, students and community at AUC were incredibly welcoming and kind. I also appreciated the dynamic nature of our classes - moving between different locations added a refreshing change of pace compared to a traditional classroom setting."
