The American University in Cairo
Cairo, Egypt
Meals are provided through a variety of on-campus cafes and restaurants, as well as in dormitories, but are not covered by the program fee. Since this is a direct university exchange, assimilation and student life will require a great deal of independence. However, since this is an English-language university, academic cultural barriers should be substantially mitigated. International students will undergo a week-long orientation program including lectures and sessions introducing newcomers to AUC and to life in Cairo.
