A lot of the colleges are satellite branches of major American and British universities with a teaching faculty sourced from around the world.

I would like to study anywhere abroad. As soon as the UAE and Arabian peninsula crawl out of the 7th century and join the modern world and adhere to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I’d love to visit.
