Lankey: Morocco - French and Arabic Study Abroad Programs

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
been with the Lankey Program. All worries of travelling on my own were gone from the moment I got to Morocco and each day my group felt more and more like family. I had the most incredible group leader we could have asked for making every moment fun and memorable. This program has given me friends for life and I will never forget the amazing memories I will come away with. I couldn’t fault one single thing about this trip. The food was amazing, the accommodation was beautiful and the people and tour guides were brilliant! Each day is better than the last, I got to learn experience and explore which is something that is hard to find. I would highly recommend this program to everyone and I hope you’re as lucky as I was.

Reasons For Studying Abroad

The Avid Adventurer
The wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal.
