Campus culture
Debate societies, robotics teams, film clubs, student government campuses here are small cities, and every one is hiring members in September.
Lecture at nine.Desert by five.
Student life in the UAE runs on two clocks: campus clubs, labs, deadlines and country coastlines, mountains, dunes and cities that never repeat themselves.
Weekends that need a map
Dune bashing on Friday, snorkelling in Fujairah on Saturday, back for Sunday's lab. Seven emirates fit in a weekend students treat the country as their campus.
Food from everywhere
Two hundred nationalities cook here. Homesickness has a delivery radius of about fifteen minutes, whatever home tastes like.
Faith & community
Mosques, churches, temples and gurdwaras share the same streets. Whatever your community, it is already here and it already has a WhatsApp group.
The story
Four years, forty countries of friends.
Ask alumni what they kept from the UAE and the degree comes second. The network of people — classmates now scattered across every industry and continent — comes first.
