Average experience with some shortcomings
My overall experience was average. I liked that the program provided a solid theoretical foundation in communications and computer engineering, and it helped me develop problem-solving and technical skills. However, it could be improved by offering more practical training modern tools, and better organization of coursework. Overall it was a decent experience with both strengths and areas for improvement.

Housing services
The university hostels were homes for male and female students, which consisted of a residential building for female students in Eltaftesh area and a residential building for female students in the Keman Fares area. These houses belonged to the direct supervision of the Fayoum City Council, and their services were limited to residency only.
In the academic year 1986/85, coordination was made between the university administration in Fayoum and Fayoum Governorate, provided that these university hostels are subordinated to the university so that all services provided to students in other university hostels could be provided.
