Making the decision to study abroad in the UAE has been one of the most transforming experiences of my life. Nothing beats meeting the amazing people and connections I made here–the international office at AURAK has helped me quickly find a good internship opportunity at the EGA (Electronic Government Authority). The international office was also thoughtful to fully fund my trips to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Oman with friends. Being immersed in a completely different culture definitely forces you to see the world from a perspective different than your own, and there is no experience more humbling than that. The one thing I will never forget about living in Ras al-Khaimah will be all of the friendships and connections I made.

My experience at AURAK in the Fall of 2018 was amazing! I met so many new friends from Ras Al Khaimah and from all over the world. I learned a lot about civil engineering and also about the local language and culture. During my time at AURAK, I also had the opportunity to travel to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, and even Oman. Overall, living in Ras Al Khaimah and attending AURAK is the coolest thing I have ever done in my entire life. To all my AURAK friends: I miss you, and I hope to see you again soon!

My experience in AURAK has been life changing. It gave me the opportunity to discover the beautiful culture of the UAE, the religion and values. Despite the cultural differences, I have met so many amazing people and managed to create strong friendship through the whole year. I have followed the American educational system and in the same time i travelled a lot in the Arab world.
I will never forget my year here, it just can not be explained with words- it should be experienced.
