Explore Our Campus
The AUIB campus fulfills the vision of its founders as a true American-style university campus that is efficient, environmentally responsible, beautiful, and conducive to study through its quiet, tree-lined lanes, state-of-the-art classrooms, comfortable environs, and aesthetically pleasing views. Whether a student is sitting in a classroom with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake, or sitting in the food court with friends, relaxing on a terrace with a cup of tea while enjoying the cool breezes coming off the water, or riding to class on one of the shuttle buses or water taxis, every AUIB student will quickly come to think of the campus as their campus, their home away from home. Indeed, the wonderful years spent learning and growing here will be with every graduate for life.
Experience AUIB
Similar to many college campuses around the world, we make every effort to ensure our campus is beautiful, relaxing, and conducive to study and intellectual development. We strive to create calm, quiet spaces where individual students can concentrate on their studies, public spaces where students can meet their friends and socialize, and beautiful, well-tended grounds where students can safely take long walks around campus to reflect and meditate. The AUIB campus is an extraordinary oasis where students can enjoy learning and participate in the full spectrum of campus life.

The AUIB Campus
The AUIB campus, as the university’s name reflects, is both Iraqi and American. The outer architectural style is Iraqi, as are the many Arabesque designs seen throughout the building interiors. Yet it is also American in the efficient classroom organization, the way the library and food courts are arranged, and in the academic environment that is created throughout the campus to encourage study and learning.
Your Home Away from Home
Our Location
Like any campus in America, AUIB is developing facilities for sports and recreation, food courts that will serve a variety of foods, both Arabic and international, residence halls so students can live on campus to get the most out of their college experience, and green areas to bring nature to campus everywhere possible. With expansive lakes, thousands of palm trees and other varieties of trees, grassy areas, and beautiful landscaping with countless flowers adorning the walkways and gardens throughout, the AUIB student will be surrounded by beauty and nature at its finest. Even on the hottest days of summer, students will be able to relax in air conditioned spaces throughout the campus, and enjoy the shade of lakeside terraces and balconies as they have their tea and snacks with their friends between classes or at the end of their day.
As the campus reconstruction continues the transition to an American-style university in the heart of Iraq, the founders and designers are putting the interests, comfort, and needs of students first above everything else. Whether a building becomes a food court, a library, a classroom building, or an office, the first question asked is always, “How can we make this better for our students?” The AUIB campus is for you – we hope you will think of it as “your home away from home” as you consider spending the next several years of your life studying here!

On campus residence
While AUIB does not presently have residence halls for students to live on-campus, dormitories construction is to begin presently with the goal of having residence halls ready for move-in as soon as possible. When completed, these halls will provide many students with safe, secure, affordable, quality housing that will allow them to live on campus in a manner that will please both students and their parents.
How It Works
The separate-sex residence halls, fully equipped with cafes, lounges, recreation rooms, kitchens on every floor, and common areas, will allow students to live in a community of peers sharing the AUIB experience. Since the American education experience often requires group study and team projects, living on-campus facilitates the academic experience as well, even allowing students to sleep in later because they do not have to drive to campus and deal with commuting.
On Campus Vs Off
The cost of living in a residence hall will be roughly equivalent to living in a rented apartment in the city. With on-campus dining options, and kitchens available in the halls, students will not need to leave campus.
Living On Campus
In many ways, living on campus will enrich your AUIB education, so consider our residence halls! You will find both the experience and the convenience well worth the cost in enriching your time at AUIB
