On Oct. 2, 2011, Classes began at AUI-S. The new campus houses conference rooms, lecture halls, and classrooms. The students seem to be very happy to attend classes at the new campus for it is by far much more comfortable than the old one, where the students had to attend the classes in the cabins that were known as "chicken houses". However, the new campus lacks one of the most important places for many students, which is a Mosque. It was true that there was not a mosque in the old one as well, but it was not a demand because there was a mosque nearby the campus where it took only few minutes for the students to get into and pray.
