Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for me to study in a coeducational university, knowing that it is the only one in our country, and I cannot travel to the Kingdom and leave my parents, who are in need of me?
Answer:
It is not permissible to study in coeducational universities where men are next to women. However, if the men are separate and the women are separate, with each group isolated from the other, there is nothing wrong with that. As for mixing, it is not permissible.
