<p>here is something from another NYUAD thread in CC. Its like a reality check . </p>
<p>That NYUAD can be compared to HYP is precisely that - HYPe!</p>
<p>Its part of the ruthless strategy by the NYUAD management to plant hypes like this in CC & other sites .
HYP between them have centuries of established glory & experience while NYUAD has 0 years ! I think its criminal to con & lure young kids with free air tickets on Abu Dhabis national carrier (that is flying half empty anyway) into an experimental situation that has known to have failed several times !!</p>
<p>Kids are conned into dumping admissions into well proven educational systems of established universities to join in on an experiment in an insipid city with strict laws on even kissing in public ( let alone LBGT issues!!) , no democracy & populated by laborers from poor countries who spit all over the neat streets. A city devoid of book shops & libraries, devoid of scholars as traders, builders & oilmen are all you see.</p>
<p>NYU AD is playing with the lives of hundreds of students with a LAC situation that has no experience at all. UAE on the other hand has lots of experience with regards to US universities in the region -</p>
