At Education City in Doha, Qatar’s capital, they can study medicine at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, international affairs at Georgetown, computer science and business at Carnegie Mellon, fine arts at Virginia Commonwealth, engineering at Texas A&M, and soon, journalism at Northwestern.
Why couldn’t my school have a study abroad program at ‘Education City’. It would have made learning spoken Arabic a lot easier.

I cant think of anything more tragic than the bootleg American University system being reproduced around the world, let alone the Muslim world. What a shame.
The United kingdom and the states are the only two countries which rule the League tables of the top 50 universities in the world almost every other top university in europe and asia and some part of africa have ties with both countries educational system. They both offer excellence in teaching and research.
