American University in Dubai (AUD)

AUD is an incredible place for innovation and collaboration. I recently attended an AI event there, and it was impressive to see how open they are to new ideas and partnerships. It’s more than just a university; it’s becoming a hub where professionals, students, and creatives come together to exchange ideas and build the future. Their vision for the next five to ten years is exciting. They are working toward becoming a central space for AI, entrepreneurship, and collaboration, a true “third place” where people connect beyond work and home. If you’re looking for a dynamic environment that fosters creativity and forward-thinking, AUD is definitely a place to watch.

The university has many things to fix. The parking is very bad. There is no good system, and people park in the disabled spots even if they are not allowed. The security does nothing about it. Inside the classrooms, sometimes it is too cold and other times too hot. It is hard to focus because of that. Also, the study materials are not the same as the exams. The exams are very hard, and it is not easy to get high marks. Some students feel that the professors pass or fail people without clear reasons.

Excellent academic environment with supportive staff and high-quality teaching. A great place to grow both personally and professionally.
