I learned so much about how I adjust across cultural borders, especially being so far away from all my family and friends. Otherwise I learned so much Arabic, and feel like my language skills really improved. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes, I acknowledge that my language skills improved, but I wish I had made a more significant social impact. The volunteer assignment they chose for me didn't feel worthwhile in that regard. cleo b - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned how to navigate in a non-westernized country and system on my own while also acclimating to the culture. It was a unique experience because I developed close relationships with local Moroccans that I never could have done without Middlebury's dedication to language study. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile! It taught me a lot about myself and about a part of the world I had never been to before. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Moroccan Cultural experience A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained a wonderful host family and dialect and knowledge of culture A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Super worthwhile, I learned a lot. I ended up taking a semester off in order to stay in Morocco, so the lessons I learned in study abroad are sort of mixed up with the lessons I learned from a year in Morocco A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Underwent spiritual transformation. it was epic. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I developed great relationships with the people I interacted with regularly and I learned to appreciate a new culture which I absolutely fell in love with! It was definitely worthwhile! A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Language skills, culture A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Language, cultural perspective, friends Rose Adams - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Language skills, great friends, good experiences, and a lot of time alone. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I definitely improved my language skills. I had to try to either be ok with people making assumptions about me, or build my identity and personality in different ways, since language was something I couldn't rely on. Mishka B - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned language skills and coexistence skills. I also strengthened my sense of independence and ability to go out and interact with strangers. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learnt a lot about the Moroccan culture and languages. The food is awesome and people are hospitable to foreign students. Anne - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. Gained a lot of new perspective on the world. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned some of the Moroccan dialect and about Moroccan culture. It was in some ways, in others--no. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained a lot of experience with Arabic and lovely cross-cultural conversations and experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Erin Viola - Tufts University View Entire Review
Arabic arabic arabic Taking care of myself Going out of my comfort zone (traveling outside Rabat) Kathryn Tyson - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience abroad was worthwhile. My language skills improved and I learned a great deal about Moroccan culture and history. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
There are honestly too many things to type up. My biggest takeaway is that the world is wider than you can imagine, and that with a little effort and extroversion you can discover things and people that will undoubtedly teach you in ways that no school or institutional can. The experience was 100% worthwhile. Naina Horning - Middlebury College View Entire Review
That I appreciate small classrooms. It was worthwhile because it made me experience things that were beyond my comfort zone. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the Moroccan culture and history. I also learned a lot about myself both as an individual and a student. It was very worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I feel that I learned a lot, I got to live in a foreign country on my own, I got to travel, I met a lot of different people. It was worthwhile, though I wonder if it would have been better to only do a semester instead of two since the second felt very repetitive. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
About
For thousands of years, Morocco has benefited from the cross-cultural exchange of Berber, Arab, African, and European peoples, customs, learning, and gastronomy. Today, Morocco is home to 34 million, and is one of the most stable and moderate constitutional monarchies in the Arab World.
Located 150 miles south of Morocco's northern tip, where the Bou Regreg river meets the Atlantic Ocean, Rabat is the nation’s capital, and home to just over 1 million "Maghariba" (Moroccans). By Moroccan standards, Rabat is a fairly young city, having been established in 1146. Our partner university, Mohammed V University, was founded in 1957 as the first modern university in Morocco.
This program is designed for students with proficiency in Arabic, who adhere to the Middlebury Language Pledge while they are abroad. The Pledge shows a commitment to linguistic immersion and is the key to students' successful language development and cultural integration.
