The universities in K.S.A.

Nowadays, we have about 19 universities in Saudi Arabia. I am going to focus on two of them. The first one is called king Fahad university petroleum and minerals (kfupm) which follows the western universities style. The second on is called king Kaled university (kku) which is quite traditional. These two universities differ in many ways including the book, the language which they study in and the internationally acceptable certificate. First, (kfupm) is more developed than kku. Beside that, kfupm is interested in renewing all the books in the subject which the students study regularly. In addition, kfupm makes sure that all the students who interested in the university must succeed in the first year which is about math and English language. In contrast, Kku study the same books for 10 years. Second, kku students use the Arabic language for studying in most of the faculties and this never happens in kfupm. As a result, kfupm has become a famous university all over the world. Also, everybody tries to get admission in kfupm. Although kku still a good university in some fields, it is not as successful as kfupm. Further more, the kfupm certificate is recognized in more places than the kku certificate. Because of that, the students who have the kfupm certificate have priority to have jobs. Finally if you want to be more educated and with other language go to kfupm. Also, kku is a place where you will have a good education, too. To conclude, you can see the differences between the two universities in several fields. However, each one has its own way of teaching. In my opinion, I support kfupm because they really make a good leader of the student in the area that he or she studying in.
