The city campus of AU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Alexandria has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature. Foreigners who come to AU through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
