I’m already at KAUST now, but just for the summer.. I’m doing research in chemistry at the moment. I already have a full scholarship to attend UCSB for my bachelor’s degree and then do my grad work at KAUST. I just finished my first year, so I have a long way to go.
Is there any type of student databases or student life offices to meet students who graduated from UCSB?

Hey Maya, yes I’ve already graduated; but I’m happy to hear that another Gaucho is on the way. I’m in Saudi though, when are you coming?

Oh wow, another Gaucho!
It seems like you already graduated. It would have been so interesting to meet you..
I was told by my adviser that two UCSB mechanical engineering students went off to study at KAUST, I don’t know if you were one of them

very much enjoyed the blog… I am moving to KAUST in August as a research assistant and over the past weeks I have been trying to mine the blog-o-sphere about SA and the university to try to get an idea of what I have gotten myself into! Cheers, I hope the other KAUSTians are as lighthearted as you

I don’t see what the problem is, especially when you’ve got Hasselhoff by your side.

But seriously, idk if captain Long duc Dong was in charge of this outfit or not, but it is surely reminiscent of the Stockton early 2000s… i hope Arabian Securitas wasn’t too charitable with the lashings.

Thuwal Bay- April 29th, 2010. “Unprecedented indeed”- according to the KAUST Finishline Welcoming Staff.

“I’ve never seen such carlessness in getting stung by an evident overpopulation of jellyfish and such nimbleness to avoid reckless boats, jet-skis, catamarans, yachts, sailboats and even waterbikes right in the middle of their transit and commercial waterways with such an enthusiasm, and only one focus: reaching 1st the Beacon of Knowledge”- commented DT- MVP to himself.

What is the purpose? -some might ask. As commented on this blog: to establish the foundations for other generations to enjoy this (now traditional) DT: B2B- 1K with the same fervidness (either by hazing rituals, by mistake or willingly) and to add it to next semester’s DT: B2B- Triathlon.

Thank you “DT- Captain Long” for your words and the inspiration.
