Students will be housed in the state-of-the-art student housing facility on the AUC campus in New Cairo. This housing facility consists of a series of small apartment-style complexes, each radiating from a central living area, which fronts on a courtyard. The facility offers central air conditioning, security guards, medical personnel, attentive residence hall staff, laundry facilities, computer access, garden area and cable television services. The bedrooms are large and well-appointed, and equipped with telephones capable of receiving and making international telephone calls. Visitors are screened and announced. The Program will operate a round-trip shuttle service between the campus in New Cairo and the Tahrir Campus for after-school visits to the downtown area at least two days a week. All students will be charged a housing fee to cover the costs of their stay in the AUC Housing Facility. Students will be assigned rooms on a same-sex basis as this is required under the Egyptian law and AUC regulations. 

Cairo EgyptMarried students accompanied by their spouses, students traveling with children, and unmarried students desiring to live off-campus may take advantage of an abundant variety of housing choices in downtown Cairo. The Program cannot assist students with off-campus housing costs, except those students who must live off-campus because they are accompanied by their spouse and children. Those students will receive a housing credit in their tuition bill. All other off-campus housing costs must be borne entirely by the student. The Program and AUC can put the student in touch with professionals who can arrange to show the student housing options. Students seeking off-campus housing should be aware that there is are considerable distances and travel times that will result when any student lives in downtown Cairo, as all classes will take place on the campus in New Cairo.
