Verena Im in Rabat, Morocco
My advice would be to immerse yourself as much as possible. Moroccan people are truly the most welcoming people I have ever met, and if you seek out community, it will be there for you. Forming relationships with locals give you the opportunity to see Morocco in a truly different way.
Bella Childre – South Africa
Take time to explore your city, immerse yourself in a new culture, and learn from others. The people make the place, and you will make lifelong friends during your stay, so choose the place that excites you most because it’s where you will encounter the most like-minded people.
Laura G – Jordan
Studying in Jordan for me had nothing to do with being pre-med (nor my Major), but it helped me significantly speak/understand Arabic better, allowing me to communicate and form closer bonds with my Arabic-speaking grandparents.
