Given that
it is a multidisciplinary program, each year the classes will vary depending on
the professor and his/ her department. You will take three classes: Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic, a class taught by the Dartmouth instructor, and course on the
city of Fez. All three classes will be academically rigorous and will demand
much of your time. Moreover, the class on Fez will involve a number of outside
lectures and tours. You may end up feeling like you spend all day in class,
which is partially true. Every minute in Morocco is a learning experience,
which can be tiring, and the divide between life and classroom becomes blurred.
Remember that it’s only ten weeks and try to take advantage of everything
that comes your way.
You’ll
have a lot of homework every night. In fact you probably won’t be able to
complete everything on time. One thing not to do is save everything until the
end—it will catch up with you. On the other hand, keep academics in
perspective and go with your host parents to visit friends in Casablanca or to
a wedding in Meknes. These kinds of events will be some of your best and most
distinct memories of Morocco.
