I work as a PhD scholar in the CEMSE department. KAUST provides all the resources a research scholar needs. Good housing, International scholars, State of the art Research facility and a generous fellowship are some of the things I like at KAUST.

Dislikes

KAUST is not a comprehensive university, with students from so many different nationality and KAUST being a fairly new and extremely competetive university creates sometimes unusual problems. Sometimes the work load is comparitevly too high.
