President, assured that the university cares for its students and offers all 
possible scientific and social facilities for about 80 thousands undergraduate 
students and about 30 thousands graduate students at the various faculties in 
the main campus and the regional New Valley campus. He also stated that he 
talked with the deans and officials in-charge to provide all possible means and 
support for needy students by arranging for charity fairs to offer cheap-priced 
tools and supplies. As for students' accommodation, the president assured that 
Assiut University is one of the largest universities and hosts students from 
farther areas and distances. He said that the number of students who seek 
accommodation is expected to reach 17 thousands male and female students. The 
University will definitely offer accommodation for all female students and, for 
the first time this year, priority of accommodation for male students will 
consider academically distinguished students, their field of specialty and the 
distance of students' main residence, not only age criteria.
