Best Experience I've had so far! Past Review

By (University of Toronto) - abroad from 07/29/2019 to 08/21/2019 with

Lankey: Morocco - French and Arabic Study Abroad Programs

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
From the moment you start inquiring by mail to the last goodbye in person Lankey staff are super helpful, they will make their best to ensure you have a great time. With the school, the activities, the new people you are meeting and all the new things to discover in Morocco there is never a dull moment. The schedule for classes and activities give you enough free time to look around for all the other plans you might have made for your trip, but the constant transportation to school and activities and the conversations with local friends let you stay away from just another tourist tag, you can become as local as you like. when I first came, I didn't realize how much stuff and souvenirs I was going to take home, you will come back super full!
