RIYADH: Students flocked to the EducationUSA college fair this week as it made its way across Saudi Arabia in a tour that began in Jeddah on Sunday before moving to Riyadh on Wednesday and Dhahran on Saturday.
With more than 80 US universities exhibiting in Jeddah, Riyadh and Dhahran, the event offers students resources and direct access to university representatives to answer questions about studying abroad.
The fair drew hundreds of students excited to learn about higher education opportunities, including Kholoud Al-Saygh, a senior medical student in Riyadh who previously studied abroad in the US for an exchange semester in Kansas.
“The US has inspired me since I was growing up, and it’s an amazing country,” Al-Saygh told Arab News.
“My whole family studied there, my dad studied in Seattle, and he always talked fondly of Seattle, and I loved it,” she said.
