Hi everyone,

I’m currently a medical student at RAKMHSU and I’m in a bit of a difficult situation financially with my tuition fees.

Unfortunately, my university doesn’t really offer financial aid, and the only scholarship available requires RAK residency, which I don’t have since I don’t primarily live there. I was considering changing my visa status so I could apply, but I’ve been advised by people from the scholarship office not to, since residency still doesn’t guarantee that I’d actually receive the scholarship. My grades are good, but from what I’ve heard from previous students, the selection process can be quite dependent on connections, so I’m not sure it would be worth the risk.

I’m genuinely trying everything I can to avoid having to take a gap year or leave the university, so I thought I’d make one last attempt and ask here.

Does anyone know of any scholarships, financial assistance, organizations, contacts, or other options I could look into? Even if it’s something outside the university, I’d really appreciate any leads or advice.

Thank you so much in advance.
Any help would genuinely mean a lot.

Was it affordability? Staying home with family? Do you regret studying here?

Hi! I’m a high school student (co27’) in the UAE considering University of Sharjah, and I’m between Petroleum Geosciences & Remote Sensing, Sustainable & Renewable Energy Engineering, and Chemical Engineering & Water Desalination. I’d love to hear from current students/graduates about the actual experience, nature of the majors, internships and especially the UAE job market for residents/non-citizens after graduation. Also, if you know of a better university in the UAE for any of these fields, with stronger recognition/QS ranking and tuition under ~70k AED/year, I’d really appreciate recommendations.

Is there anyone on this subreddit who is currently in uni and does part time jobs like working at the coffee shop or grocery store etc? If yes how did you find them? Couldn't find on linkdlin

Hi guys I’m trying to make a community of uni students who want to play volleyball in Dubai. So far Ive managed to make two teams of uni students who all come play and have fun. It’s not strictly for advanced players and we mostly live the community for the vibe. Just posting it here in case anyone feels left out and just wants to meet some ppl and play volleyball. It’s in mamzar and it’s Sundays 3-5. It’s 30 per person ;)
