<p>Oops responded to an old post my fault. Who knew a thread with only 3 active people would get so big??</p>
<p>Well, when you have a 15 year old obsessed with studying in the states, a college student wasting time at work, and well... other random Arabs... then you have the perfect ingredients for a long thread where everyone talks about nothing for long periods of time.</p>
<p>Hey, we ARE Arabs, we're keeping up with traditions...
And our favorite past-time -- arguing about everything and nothing. =D</p>
<p>^yup we're keeping the tradition :)</p>
<p>who said I was obsessed? stop it with the ludicrous assumtions. (I think I spelled half that sentence wrong).</p>
<p>^that made absolutely no sense at all!!!</p>
<p>uh, now where were we?</p>
<p>I hate DSL!! It's so slow!!</p>
<p>DSL?? Its fast! I get 1Mbs and is pretty good. 56Kbs now that's slow.</p>
<p>uh..I know it should be fast..the little icon on the task bar says 100 mbps. but it took this page 20 minutes to load.</p>
<p>I have a question:</p>
<p>Do any of you, Enn or wizard that is, know about the American Univeristy's policy on scholarships and financial aid? I want to apply to the AUC but if I can't get some kind of scholarship, then I won't even bother because that would mean giving up certain luxuries..which I will never ever do. Anyway, I looked at their website but didn't find specific info....</p>
<p>Well I don't know anything about AUC but I do know about AUB and AUS (my twin sis goes there). AUB I believe gives out financial aid but not scholorships whereas AUS gives both. AUS even has a scholorship which pays for 75-100% of your tuition but its extremely rare and hard to get. Sometimes they give it to no one! I think AUC should at least give out financial aid but I'm not sure...</p>
<p>PS:The three universities have pretty much nothing in common except that the three are the only american accredited universities in the region.</p>
<p>Hey I found this website: <a href="http://www.aucegypt.edu/admissions/undergraduate/finaid.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.aucegypt.edu/admissions/undergraduate/finaid.htm</a></p>
<p>it seems like they give a max of 30% financial aid...</p>
<p>well, I assumed that, since they are all accredited and are basically the same university, the policies would be the same in all of them. I'll have to look into it a little more...I hate this part, colleges should come to us-not the other way around.</p>
<p>thanks for the link wizard :)</p>
<p>AUK is accredited now, I think.</p>
<p>^I honestly don't know</p>
<p>It's new. Couple of years old now.</p>
<p>That's why I've never heard of it!</p>
<p>Probably. yup.</p>
<p>If its only a couple of years old then it hasn't had enough time to gain accreditation. I didn't search extensively on the website but its not on the fromt page like AUS. </p>
<p>PS:AUS website is <a href="http://www.aus.edu%5B/url%5D">www.aus.edu</a></p>
<p>I didn't know that the AUs had to earn the accreditation. I thought they were accredited without anything. That's new information for me. :O</p>
