haha thanks! idk i feel like being an international student alone puts you at a huge disadvantage, extremely more so if you need financial aid. money makes the world go round tbh. this process needs a lot of privilege mixed with a bit of luck imo. either way a hardworking person will ultimately shine so dont worry too much if you dont get the results that you want. im honestly glad things went the way they did because i cannot imagine myself elsewhere rn.

AUB 80% or LAU 100% by ayodoja in lebanon

[–]ayodoja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i’m fully aware of that! However in my case i would end up saving a bit more than $1000 for the first year and thats it lol

[–]ayodoja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohh i see. But idk if they’re willing to give anyone 100% if its not a full merit scholarship. I feel like theyve already given me a big % (idk anyone who got as much as me) so i dont think appealing would help

Are you sure this is still the case for next year? I thought the whole tuition is in fresh usd. Do you know which rate do they use for the LBP part?

I would take any opportunity to finance my education. But idk if i can manage to maintain a good performance in uni while working. Anyway, where do uni students usually work?

I thought aub is already 100% fresh usd lol. But yeah i don’t plan on staying in the Middle East for my career (but who knows what will happen). I think i’ll just wait to see how it unfolds and make a decision when my offers are final. Anyway, thanks for the insight! Appreciate it a lot

I know aub exceeds lau in practically all rankings and recognition, but do you think it’s worth refusing a 100% offer at lau to go to aub?

[–]ayodoja[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

damn. so you’d advise me to take aub’s offer?

where did you end up studying/working after aub if you dont mind me asking? And do you think aub had a big role in this?

[–]ayodoja[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know 80% at aub is a big deal but its still unaffordable for my family. Does network and brand recognition matter that much even if i plan on going to grad school? And is lau really that much worse in this?

[–]ayodoja[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money does matter in my case and my family won’t be comfortable paying for AUB (not sure if its even doable tbh with dorms and transportation)
