I am proud of Addis Ababa University because it fuels Africa’s progress with its quality education. English and Amharic instruction reflects cultural diversity. Some courses are taught in English and others Amharic but Amharic is used predominantly for communication. The program durations vary, offering flexibility for students. While the university is far from home for some students like me, the supportive community eases the transition. Lastly, Addis Ababa’s vibrant nightlife enriches the student experience.
