What do you think?

This is probably the first gulf university that has a good start and planning. it is not the typical educational service university and seems to attract faculty who are well accomplished in their fields. how far its autonomous privileges will protect it from the surrounding culture and society is to be seen. Although it's future is promising its success will be measured by how much contribution to the scientific community and more importantly the retention of qualified faculty members. BTW, KAUST was featured in Science magazine and this is a good exposure in highly reputed journal.

These rankings are a big joke.

Education in Saudi Arabia is an even bigger joke. My father was born and raised in Saudi Arabia, but he could not study science, mathematics, or engineering in the university he attended because he was a Palestinian refugee.

Your father's nationality is not an issue.
ANY person who does not have Saudi Citizenship cannot enter a Saudi University.

You're wrong, I know Lebanese people who got diplomas from Saudi Universities, I do not know where you get your info from.

Danny it depends, was this person studying Master's or Post Graduate work?
Was this person Muslim or Christian?
In General, Lebanese or foreigners are not permitted entry to Saudi Universities.
