Money Talks (3) : Rich and Poor
Post under
opinion
American University of Iraq-Sulaimani is a private university, which means that there is nothing such as a free lunch at AUI-S.
Students who come to AUI-S, even those on scholarship, know that there is a monetary price on the education they get. So it is normal to see things given in exchange for an amount of money.

The South Eastern Cabin: the Government of My Corrupted Class

“Let’s keep it simple, but not too simplistic”  |
| Bahman A. Hassan |
Chaos would perfectly describe my studying at AUI-S. Why? Simply, I don’t know! It may be either because I am a distributive student or it is an orderly chaos. I usually attend three of the South Eastern PVC cabins but I usually come out empty handed. I regularly go to the “Cabins” before my “instructors”, they are quite punctual. They are usually confusing me.

Ladies First!

The rational, Ladies First, is not really native to my country’s blood, but “brilliant” students at AUIS follow it because they are treated as American students in the States, imaginably. Moreover, some fancy that by using this practically, it becomes a good bridge to be pretend being Americans.

Most of the AUI-S students are here for quite normal reasons. For example, some of them have not gotten a good degree, so guess what? AUI-S accepts less than fifty. On the other hand, some are here because they were too smart. I know a friend who is now planning to study Environmental Sciences who has gotten 98! Yes 98. I mean 98 for me is a joke. I have never seen a 98 in my life, or in my dreams.
But I always like to go into details and find out more about the real reasons behind the students' being here in AUI-S.

AUI-S: One Long Year of backward-looking
Post under

by Bahman Abdulrahman
This post, however, is long in outward; it is the reflection of one year at the American University of Iraq-Sulaimani. Although, it may contain lethal truth that the university intensively tries to cover them, I hope this will help the student’s pursuit of boarding their horizons. Some of the events may seem old, yet I believe, they have played a huge role in shaping the present policies. Therefore, dear readers, I hope you understand the order of the events and I am sure most of you are familiar with them, though, they were not open to be commented on by the students.

"AUI-S students should start to tear down the walls in front of their freedoms made by themselves. To do this, they don't need to gossip the administration members in bed. We only need to be brave enough to speak."
