The American University of Madaba (AUM) is located in the middle of nowhere. It's completely fenced in, so when you enter the complex it feels like you've walked into a totally different world. The school is still brand new and has a long way to go before it is a fully operational university, but I believe it has the potential to be an excellent facility in a few years.
The students are what makes the university such a great place to study. I have never met so many fun and friendly people in my life as I have in my short time at AUM. Without a doubt, they will be what I miss the most about Jordan.
Hello, I am looking at your blog as an assignment for my Arab Culture class at DePaul University and its funny that I stumbled upon this because we just hosted the President of the American university in Madaba at our uni! I am president of the Arabic Language and Culture Club here and our club hosted the event. It was an honor having him and he is such a kind man. Enjoy your stay! - Shourouk
