Student STORIES
-
Abdulla Almarzooqi
Class of 2023 -
In addition to my work, I like to explore different things that are beyond my comfort zone. I’m studying French, I go to the gym every day, I go to yoga classes, to museums, and explore Abu Dhabi.
Maryam Alshehhi
Class of 2024 -
MIRA AL JALLAF
Class of 2019 -
I'm saying yes to all of these opportunities so I can impact the industry as a whole and work on problems that truly matter. I'm only able to do any of this thanks to all of my different experiences at NYUAD.
Qutaiba Al-Nuaimy
Class of 2022 -
Everything mostly changed when I went to my first summer abroad in New York. That was the first time I traveled entirely by myself. Just me by myself with no one there. No plans. I didn't even know where I was, what I was doing there for my classes… But I came back a whole new person.
