The program will provide housing to single non-Seton Hall Law School students free of charge. Seton Hall Law School students who do not pay a tuition charge will pay a housing charge as part of the overall administrative fees. Single students will be housed in AUC's Zamalek hostel, located on Gezira Island, just 10 minutes by auto from the main AUC campus. The Zamalek hostel is truly a deluxe facility. It offers students central heating and cooling, security guards, part-time medical personnel, a competent and attentive residence hall staff, laundry room, computer room, exercise room, bookshop, garden area, student lounge, cafeteria, and twenty-four hour cable television services. The rooms are large, comfortable, and well-appointed. Each room is equipped with a telephone capable of making and receiving international telephone calls. Visitors are screened and announced. There is a free AUC van shuttle service to and from the main campus of AUC every half an hour from approximately 7 AM until approximately 7 PM, six days a week. Taxi fare between the hostel and downtown Cairo, or Giza, is approximately 5 Egyptian pounds (90 cents) Public transportation to Cairo costs about 25 Egyptian piasters (5 cents). Cabs are plentiful and inexpensive.
Married students accompanied by their spouses 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 spouse or children, and they will receive a housing credit in their tuition bill. Off-campus costs must be borne entirely by the student. The program and AUC will arrange to put students in contact with nearby inexpensive housing accommodations, including several very good hotels and rooming houses, if the student desires to live off-campus. We suggest that a student desiring to live off-campus make arrangements to arrive in Cairo early and thoroughly investigate the off-campus living arrangements before moving in. The AUC housing office can be of assistance in this regard.
