Great report Mr.bollag, on this video the ambassador mentioned there are more than 50.000 students in the United States. I was wondering if it was hard to find students other those who you focused on showing them for the two reports?

Hi,

Not hard to find others, just a question of time. Are you a Saudi student? Would be happy to talk to you next time.

I think the scholarship thing is awesome and one of the "few" good investment of the government of KSA .

the thing is who's qualified for that scholarship.

the government is sending a huge amount of students most of them aren't qualified.

They should also rather than sending young student overseas they should IMPROVE there own universities for god's sake!

many billions are blown away when it should be invested in educational stuff.

hope someday we see people come to study in KSA like at KFUPM

@faisal1m it's not about me sir, it's about students who have done something to their country, there are MANY who invents and accomplishes things for the country. Not students who are studying ESL or have just started their college program. I'm just trying to give you an idea of how the Saudis wants to see their students. Also, the images weren't for Saudi, it was for UAE, lol ,, Good luck
