This "university" is in a compound housing other "universities." In fact, if you go to another floor of the same building, you might end up on the "campus" of another "university."

Knowledge Village is hilarious.

There are so many good universities in France or in UK (which is just a couple hours away from Lille by train). Why in Dubai? Most of universities/colleges in Dubai are only affiliates.

Actually, i come from Lille...it's a partner with Middlesex so it's an exchange, i really like to come in Dubai, moreover, i'm still a student but i'm working in the same time in order to get enough money for accomdation etc i Know that it's not the best university but i can't pay 20000$ for a bachelor! :shock:
By the way, there are many university in france, that's true!but diplomas aren't known very well out of France!

I don't know for undergraduate, but I've seen that for graduate (business school) in Dubai/Sharjah are not much cheaper as well. From AUS site, for a master degree it costs about 25-30K USD. If not that big different, I'd better take in US/EU (which is more "valuable" in Middle East for high salary job).

good for your CV in terms of work experience, not education.
i'm sure there are many algerians. there are many more from other northern african countries like egypt, tunisia, marroco. i just can't tell the difference ;)
if you have sports car, live in expensive apt, and plenty of money, it won't be difficult ;) just kidding. you'll have plenty of choices from many nationalities ;)

I am thinking about studying for MBA in Dubai. I made some search on the net about Dubai Universities and was thinking about applying either to Dubai American or British University. You stated that US/Eur education is more recognized than Dubai's one. Although I will have a free housing in Dubai, I do not want to waist my money and time. MBA in Dubai will cost around 20.000-23.000 USD. If this is a case, may be it worth to spend another 10.000 US and do it in US? I would be grateful for any comments or views on this topic.

If money wasn't a problem for me you can be sure that I will pay for the best bachelor or MBA...
the biggest advantage in France is that university is free, this year i paid 39€ for a bachelor... :shock:
but it's university it's not a business school like HEC (in HEC fees=8000€)
if i was in your shoes...i would choose the best...a ES/EUR education!
