Questions about American University of Sharjah and NYUAD.

For most, NYUAD is kind of hyped up in my country, and for me to state that NYUAD is better than AUS would be a pathetic fallacy.

However, many people in my country or in Central Asia - I assume - haven't even heard of AUS. Yet I'm sure this does not mean AUS is not good or can't compare to NYUAD in academics or prestige.

I'm unsure - yet. And thus, I would like to know your opinion on this comparison oh folks of reddit.

1. What do think about AUS generally?
2. How much would be of help into getting grad schools in the USA?
3. How does it compare with NYUAD in academics, prestige, student life, and what-not? (I'm biased to think NYUAD is far better simply because I've barely heard of AUS - which it actually shouldn't be.)
4. Do you think it's worth attending there if I got in with a full scholarship? But the application fee is even pricier than US colleges. Haha.

Note: I read information about AUS in this sub but not comprehensively enough about NYUAD vs. AUS.

Oh, people of Reddit, thank you for your time!
