Alot of people speak of how Madeenah Uni isnt the way it used to be before and its change, and its true to a certain extent. Yet these people strip the University of all its due credit, its all about the student himself, I cant stress this enough, you meet brothers who have been in Dammaj for some time yet they are very weak in their knowledge and you meet a brother from Madeenah who is very strong in his knowledge and vice versa. If the person is a good student in his home country and used to attend Duruus here, then where ever he decides to go he will be succesful inshAllah, but if the person is lazy and thinks just because he travels away from home he will turn into Imam Shafi'i then that will never happen.

The good things about Madeenah University is that you get a monthly allowance and a place to sleep, everything is made simple for you, all you need to do is to seek the knowledge and you even have the prophets masjid close to you and loads and loads of Ulama, in short the Uni is giving you all the means to seek the knowledge but the rest is up to the student himself.
