Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) - Batch of 2029

3.8

Food on-campus is really expensive.

Tips: The transition was smooth with a lot of international crowd. I didn't have any scholarships but there are a lot of scholarships offered. The country is amazing- especially because the campus is in a good area of Dubai.

Likes (Public transportation): Dubai's public transport is very well connected and the city has multiple bus stops and metro stops all over it. Cabs are also easily available although public transport is cheaper. Public transportation is very affordable and cabs split between big groups of people are also fine to do.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Food isn't included in the housing deposit, and food on campus is quite expensive. Most students opt for a student meal plan as ordering in every day can get very expensive. I prefer eating meal plan food for a standard rate a month, a healthier and more economical option compared to eating out.

Total Monthly ExpenseAED 4050
