Well...sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not exactly what you'd call "local". What I am: Palestinian by ethnicity, Jordanian by nationality. Lived in Saudi Arabia my whole 20 years, and I've been studying in neighboring Bahrain.

However, I feel my two years have been a waste. Corporate logos and designs and the sort isn't my thing, and there is no game design schools in the Middle East, not to mention life is boring here in Saudi. Then a Malaysian teacher of mine (who teaches Islamic Finance) in uni suggested MMU. Been looking at it, and it's just about perfect, everything from the prices to the programme itself, as well as the local flora and fauna. A friend of mine who studies there is quite happy.
