I learned a great deal of cultural understanding and flexibility. My preconceived notions about the Arab world were challenged and my sense of identity was further shaped. A student - University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review
The program was definitely worthwhile. In a general sense, I feel more exposed to the issues surrounding North Africa, Morocco, and the Muslim world. But on a personal level, the program pushed me academically and physically. The culture shock was a little intense at times, but it was surprising how quickly I adapted. I used a b...

I gained further knowledge in standard Arabic, and basic exposure to the Darija dialect. I've also gained vast experience in living within a culture I am not used to. This program is absolutely worth it. Jarrell S - Cleveland State University View Entire Review

My experience abroad was extremely worthwhile. It opened my eyes to so much culture, history, and I was able to see many beautiful places while having meaningful interactions with locals. Natalie d - University of Utah View Entire Review
I learned a lot culturally. I came into this program with just language goals; however, to learn a language you also learn the culture. The most important thing I gained from this program is exposure. Meeting different people really changes your life in subtle ways, such as the way you view the world and the way you speak/act. I...

I gained so much I think a list would be too extensive. Culture, language, friendships, and much more. If I had the option, I would hop on a plane and do it all over again right now. Gabriella H - Viterbo University View Entire Review

To adjust to a new culture and yes. Wasif I - Yale University View Entire Review
The experience really opened my eyes to how other countries view America. It's interesting to see how Moroccans in general do not have a problem with American people but with our foreign policy. They essentially believe we just need to mind our own business. This was something that made me happy because American media depicts ot...

About
The Amideast Education Abroad Summer Intensive Arabic program in Rabat, Morocco provides students with the opportunity to earn up to a full academic year of Arabic in just one summer. Beginning, intermediate, and advanced level students can jumpstart their Arabic language journey through rigorous study in blended Modern Standard and Moroccan colloquial Arabic. Students live with Arabic-speaking Moroccan homestay families and attend classes at Amideast's center in the bustling neighborhood of Agdal in Rabat. The program is divided into two four-week sessions, and classes meet five hours a day, five days per week. Each session includes about 100 hours of instruction in blended Modern Standard Arabic and the local colloquial dialect, Darija, for a total of six Arabic language credits. One summer session in Morocco covers the material typically presented in one semester on a U.S. campus.
