Amazing experience with unforgettable memories! Past Review

By (Law, Arizona State University) - abroad from 08/01/2019 to 08/30/2020 with

Lankey: Morocco - French and Arabic Study Abroad Programs

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I don't even know how to properly express how much I loved my time abroad with Lankey, but I will do my best. They are extremely organized and very friendly. There is always someone there to help you with anything including directions and advice. You get picked up from the airport and you go into Rabat with all your new friends. This was really great for me because this trip was my first time traveling ever. The day after you go on a tour of where you'll be living and you even go on an excursion! They immerse you immediately and it's honestly the best way to get comfortable in a new country. For the classes, I learned how to read and write within three weeks. The teachers were so active and made me excited to learn even more. The trips were really Amazing. I had been in 5 cities and each one brought something unique about Morocco. The colors, the streets, the people I still remember all of these. I made the best memories and BEST friends while in this program. I'd give anything to be able to do it again. I highly recommend Lankey to anybody wanting to go abroad!
