They drive the baddest, most expensive cars, only suitable for royalty, or celebrities. Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys, Roll-Royces, Bugattiss are some of the variety of cars in view.

A student who wanted to show the world the kind of insane cars undergrads in his school drive put the pictures together, and the reaction by the online community as been that of utmost surprise, particularly considering the ages of the students in question.
The pictures taken by student Meeka Nasser show the array of luxury cars in one of the car parks at the American University of Dubai.
He said:
‘I attend the American University of Dubai and the cars that students drive here are just ludicrous.
‘If I was back home in Canada my car would be considered nice, but here nobody looks twice at it.
‘These pictures were taken in the span of a couple days and only in one of the parking lots of the school, so this isn’t even close to all of the nice cars at the school.
‘Because Cayennes and Range Rovers are a dime a dozen here, I only included a few of them in the album.
‘Keep in mind, almost all of the students are between 18 and 24 years old, as the graduate programe is pretty tiny here.
‘The students that drive the insanely expensive cars (Rolls Royces and Bentleys etc.) are usually local (Emirati) for those wondering.’
The American University in Dubai is a private university which was founded in 1995.
It offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees and a Certificate in Middle Eastern Studies.
