Morocco: A World Different from My own but the same in more ways than expected. Past Review
By Anne S (Anthropology., Miami University of Ohio) for
ISA Study Abroad in Meknes, Morocco
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Living with a host family made a huge different in my overall satisfaction. They were so welcoming and treating me and my American roommate like family.

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I really enjoyed this program, but I did a lot of research before going so i had a better idea of what to expect. This program is not for everyone. People who go need to be willing to adapt to a very different life style and learn to just go with the flow. |
