Seeing as SIT does so much traveling, I was really able to see other parts of the country in a way that I didn't with my previous study abroad program. It left me wanting to see even more of Morocco and explore these on my own next time. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a ton and I do think it was very worthwhile for me! Language, communication, politics, learning about another culture, confidence somewhere new... What you learn on this program is endless. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and learning how to be patient. Also, just in general a greater understanding of Morocco and cultural differences. It made me push myself outside my comfort zone and helped me open my eyes to so many things. It was absolutely worth it. Kiley L - Providence College View Entire Review
You cannot underestimate a study abroad experience. It made me more self sufficient and prouder of what I was capable of doing. It made me more interested in internationalist and languages and being culturally savvy. It changed my future plans in the sense that i'm rethinking doing international politics, and i'm going to stu... Suzanne T - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. I wanted to do something completely different and be challenged on my abroad experience, and that is what I got. I gained a broader world perspective and greatly increased my appreciation for being born American. Elizabeth P - Tufts University View Entire Review
See above. Absolutely worthwhile. Kalju M - Carleton College View Entire Review

I also learn that every culture has its own flavor, and even though some practices aren’t understood, we have to respect t... Ashley Viteri - Knox College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and gained context to compare lifestyles I hadn’t experienced before A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile. I gained a much more critical perspective on the US and on Americans (and I already had a critical perspective). I learned too much to even begin to pull together in this box. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I have never been so aware of my identity as a female because of the strict gender roles, numerous street comments every time you walk down the street, and the way I was treated by male informants during my research process. I learned so much about Islam and the situation in North African countries. I learned so much about m... Kelly K - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. Despite frustrations, it challenged me in new ways, helped me grow, and gave me more confidence to travel to different places around the world. I learned more about the Moroccan culture and people than I ever thought I would know, and I'm grateful for this experience. Plus I made some great friends while I was...

Yes, very worthwhile. My Arabic improved a lot, I made some really good friends, got to know many Moroccans, saw a lot of the country, traveled independently, and overall had a fun, stimulating, beneficial experience. Alison N - Tufts University View Entire Review
About
This program explores the interconnectedness of these issues in the context of Moroccan and Sub-Saharan migrations to the European Union through the analysis of the experiences of the migrants themselves, the challenges they face, the policies that affect their lives, and the impact of migration on Morocco’s development. Students examine the global governance of migration through issues of poverty, climate change, integration, and the human rights of migrants. The program allows students to put forward scenarios and solutions to the challenges of current and future migration trends in Morocco, sub-Saharan Africa, and the EU.
