Ain Shams University
speciality: English Language & Literature

From my experience at my faculty until I graduated in 2023, it was nothing short of extraordinary. The supportive environment I received from my professors, both academically and personally, helped me to boost my confidence in my abilities. As someone with social anxiety, my professors helped me to overcome it by encouraging me to engage more in their classes with my colleagues. They were the ones who shaped who I’m today! Additionally, various activities were organized, from bookfairs to writing competitions and other activities, which developed our communication skills. Besides, there were office hours during which our professors were available to help with the academic subjects or any issues we faced. Hence, I developed a passion for reading and writing which is something I wasn’t into before. And currently I’m working on my first fantasy novella which most probably will be published this year. There is nothing I didn’t like about it as everything there is really remarkable and I’d definitely recommend it to all students.

In my experience at Ain Shams University, it was a bit challenging, but undeniably one of the best in Egypt, especially during my time in the Law English Section. Initially, I spent two years in the Law College before making the challenging decision to switch to English Literature. This transition was filled with both experiences and challenges, but it ultimately turned out to be a great choice. It significantly broadened my horizons and opened up new opportunities for both personal and academic growth.

One of the aspects I genuinely liked about Ain Shams was its reputation as one of the top universities in Egypt. It was clear to me that I was studying in an institution of high caliber. Moreover, the university offered a rich and vibrant environment with a diverse student population, allowing me to interact with people from various backgrounds, which I found enriching.

However, I must admit that I found the size of the college to be a bit overwhelming. The large number of students and the crowded spaces were occasionally challenging for me, as I personally prefer a more intimate learning environment. Nevertheless, I adapted and made the most of my time there, and the overall experience at Ain Shams University contributed to a well-rounded and rewarding educational journey.

I’m proud to be a graduate of the Faculty of Arts, department of English Language and Literature; a college that provides full immersion in the target language through studying Linguistics, Literature, Translation, Academic Essay Writing, and all what a learner needs to acquire the language on the highest and most sophisticated level. Also, my professors were role models in every aspect whose pieces of advice guided me on the academic as well as on the personal levels.
