How ridiculous is it to justify the tuition at AUB by saying it’s the Harvard of the MENA? A substantial number of ‘World class educators’ have left the institution. Study resources have become scarce if not totally absent. No subscription to external resources is ensured (1/3)
No international speakers hosted at conferences. No campus access even for students who have continued their normal life at the hospital/library. Low quality IT. Low patient exposure as a medical student because of AUBMC’s prices (2/3)
There are currently no benefits whatsoever for being an ‘AUBite’. I didn’t know I would be paying 170,000,000 LBP per year for the ‘prestige’ of it. A prestige that’s non-existent when applying for GME abroad where we are seen as internationals with a questionable degree (3/3)
