Effat University is well known in KSA and it has great potential. It’s had a huge name in Saudi Arabia during its prime, it was among the top best. The campus is beautiful and the university is well equipped with facilities such as a swimming pool, a gymnasium, sports courts and more. However, it is not always well kept.
The older buildings also need proper maintenance but the new building are great, they’ve managed to keep them clean and the infrastructure is beautiful.
Students have a wide range of eating choices on campus, there’s Starbucks, Paul’s and La Crêperie to name a few.
As for the teaching: many of the professors are very passionate about their subjects which in turn shows in their classes. Moreover, The classes are small and intimate which makes for a good environment for imparting knowledge.
I think an area that needs a lot of improvement is the registration department. The staff can be friendlier and they can be more organized as well.
As I’m on the precipice of graduation, in retrospect it was a memorable and exciting 4 years spent. I made good memories and good friends along the way.
The university has a long way to go towards improving, but overall it’s great!
