American University of Beirut

AUB has a gorgeous campus that really reflects its history. Walking in you feel like you've escaped the commotion of Beirut and entered a beautiful green space. The university follows the American system, so many courses, systems, and structures are different than those in Europe. When it comes to studying, AUB is known to be very demanding, stress is fairly common due to the amount of assignments and exams as well as some bureaucracy. However, the overall ambience is a positive one, there are many clubs and societies one can join. Student life is good and there are many events that cater to many audiences. Overall, I would say my experience is a positive one due to the student life despite the stress.

I am a student at the American University of Beirut (AUB) in the program of Public Policy and International Affairs. Our professors are all experts in their fields, they help us in acquiring knowledge in the domain by the experience they share with us. The content of study is very well organized and the materials are very rich. I appreciate the student life at AUB and all the facilities it offers. In addition to attending classes and lectures, students can mostly spend all day there while being productive; whether from studying at the library, joining the various university clubs, working out at the gym, swimming in the indoor pool, accessing the university beach during summer, or many other sports activities. The tuition fees are pretty remarkable: but distinguished students can still benefit from scholarships, as well as graduate assistantships for the graduate studies (Master's programs), and others can have financial aids if needed. I highly recommend it, since studying at AUB is more than just getting a degree, it's also about the experience and the skills that the students gain during their time spent here!
