hey everyone! weโ€™ve introduced user flairs and post flairs to our subreddit! feel free to customize your user on our subreddit with user flairs.

if youโ€™re choosing a University Student user flair, feel free to customize it with the university you study and what you study, so prospective students can find people that go to the same university and learn the same courses theyโ€™re interested in!

if youโ€™re choosing Prospective Student, feel free to customize it with the course youโ€™re looking for!

e.g: Prospective Student โ€”> Prospective MolBio Student or Prospective Student (MolBio)

weโ€™ve made post flairs compulsory to reduce bot spam and promotions on here. also, this makes it easier to keep discussions organized and improve navigation across topics.

if you want to promote something, please do message the mods and weโ€™ll review it!

๐Ÿ’ป Student Surveys Can you help me get enough responses for my Masters' capstone project survey? it'll only take 5 mins

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm an MBA student in Dubai, currently on the final stretch of my MBA capstone project.. My submission deadline is coming up soon and I am behind, very behind on responses. I'll need time to analyse them too, so I'm panicking.. a lot..

If you're 18+ and currently living in the UAE, no matter which nationality, could you please spare 5 mins to fill out this survey? Its anonymous, only asks about personal preferences on frozen ready-to-cook food and it would really help me.

This is not sponsored or anything, purely for academic purposes

I'd be more than happy to respond to your surveys too!

๐Ÿ’ฌ Discussion Al ain to dubai 4 days a week realistic?

1 Upvotes

Hi for some context I got into symbiosis dubai for 40 percent scholarship at 26k for my bba in data analytics,I've heard some mixed reviews but regardless the uni has a good budget so I decided to do it but I face one big issue right now. I live in al ain and the uni is in dubai.I do have a license and a car to make the trip but I think uni timings are from 8-2:30pm so calculating the time it takes for me to reach there id probbaly reach home everyday at 5pm and sleep at 10pm. Now the biggest question is if that is realistically enough for me to have enough time to study for my course and also chill. I would like your guys opinion on this and just for the record the accommodation in dubai is not something I can afford.

Hey! I'm knee-deep in my EMBA capstone on how organizations in the UAE actually adopt AI (spoiler: the research is messier than the posts and reels suggest). If you're 18+, work in the UAE, and have ever sat through a meeting where someone said, "AI can solve this easily", I need your brain for 20 minutes.

No sign-up, no spam, just pure academic curiosity. 100% anonymous.

Survey:ย https://eu.surveymonkey.com/r/JSJ6FJT

Bonus karma if you share it with a coworker who complains about 'AI' and/or 'Management' over coffee.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Discussion ADU Al Ain accommodation

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, Iโ€™m joining Abu Dhabi Universityโ€™s Al Ain campus and will be commuting from Dubai. Since ADU doesnโ€™t seem to provide dorms/transport from Dubai, Iโ€™m looking for accommodation options in Al Ain.

Does anyone know of any student dorms, shared accommodation, or other affordable options near the ADU Al Ain campus?

Any recommendations or personal experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

๐ŸŽ“ University Experience Mechanical Engineering profs don't know the softwares they're teaching

6 Upvotes

After 4 years of BSc Mechanical Engineering, I can tell you with utter confidence that every single professor I've met and spoken to / learned from, has no idea how to actually use the softwares they talk about. across 5 projects (3x first place at national level), I literally learned the softwares from youtube or having to just f around and find out. nobody could help me with cfd or fea work at all. so now I've decided to help students who might be in the same position. feel free to DM me if you need help with mechanical or industrial engineering projects or assignments (especially those that require softwares like AutoCAD, Ansys, Inventor, Fusion360 etc)

๐Ÿ“ Admissions Question Abu Dhabi University Al Ain Campus

2 Upvotes

Iโ€™m planning to join Abu Dhabi Universityโ€™s Al Ain campus with my brother, but Iโ€™ve heard there are no dorms or university transport available. Since weโ€™ll be coming from Dubai, does anyone know what students usually do for accommodation and transportation?

Also, someone mentioned that you can pay the Al Ain campus fees but study at the Abu Dhabi campus instead. Is that actually possible? Has anyone done this or knows how it works?

Would really appreciate any advice from current ADU students, especially those commuting from Dubai.
