SU campus

The city campus of SU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Mogadishu has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library where students can do their homework, write scientific papers or just read interesting books.
