I don't have an answer for your question but lemmi tell you this, If you’re going in as a self-sponsored student in AAU, just know that getting into hot fields like CS or SWE or any other field that many students want, ain’t gonna be easy especially at a universities like AAU, ASTU or AASTU. Everybody wants in, so the competition’s tough. If you really want it, you gotta grind harder than the rest. But keep it real—there’s a risk. If you don’t make it, that money you dropped on the year? Might feel like a waste. And even if you roll with another field, you’re still paying outta pocket. I ain’t tryna scare you, just making sure you think this through. But hey, if you know the risks and still go for it, that hunger will push you to hustle harder. Whatever you do, go all in. Good luck, fam!
