Studying Abroad in Morocco: Everything You Need to Know

Benefits of Studying Abroad in Morocco

Global Educational Opportunities

Morocco is a terrific starting point in which to build cross-cultural relationships and a deep understanding of the Muslim world.

If you prefer a more diverse curriculum, enroll in the Al-Akhawayn University in Ifrane, where you can learn anything from Berber History to engineering and social studies.

The Food is Amazing

On the coast, the abundance of winning seafood platters mix it up enough when you want something a bit different. And the best bang for your buck that you can find just about everywhere is the Moroccan “sandwich” — chorizo sausage, olives, lettuce and fries stuffed in flat bread. Is your mouth watering yet?

It’s Easy to Get Around

A car culture is easy enough to spot, with stretching highways and the inability to get around anywhere without a car. Fortunately, Morocco has none of these faults. The rail network is excellent but will take you insofar as main cities like Casablanca, so if you want to head off the beaten track, hop on a bus or taxi. You can easily spend your weekends exploring nearby towns or hiking in the Atlas Mountains. No matter where you study, you’ll never be more than a few hours to somewhere else new.

Additional Things to Know Before You Study Abroad in Morocco

Additional Things to Know about Studying Abroad in Morocco

Outside the classroom, your study abroad experience gives you a chance to live like a local in a foreign country. This may seem daunting in Morocco, but here's what you need to know:

1. Language

The official language in Morocco is Modern Standard Arabic, though this will only get you so far, as it’s used only in an official capacity. Moroccan Arabic, aka Darija, is the language of choice and a unique dialect of the region with French, Spanish and Berber influences. If you don’t know either, you can usually get by in French, or in certain places, Spanish. Regardless of your speaking abilities, I advise spending at least a couple weeks familiarizing yourself with the Arabic writing system, the alphabet and numbers. Knowing the basics will help you get around, to decipher signs and schedules.

2. Haggling

In Morocco, haggling is a way of life. Moroccans love to haggle in the Medina markets, and as you’re a foreigner, they’ll likely start with a high price. It’s best to jump in headfirst when negotiating. Counter with a crazy-low price, and go back and forth at least three times. Some Moroccans will throw in free gifts to sweeten the deal, but these shouldn’t influence your decision! In some touristy areas, such as Fez, shopkeepers can be aggressive and may bully you into purchasing. Just walk away, and find a more polite competitor. Ultimately you should pay what you’re comfortable paying. Do some research before you settle -- check out other shops, to see their prices, or try the fixed price shops -- these can give you an idea of the maximum you should pay.

3. Getting Oriented

When you arrive, it’s helpful to pick up a map of the city that will orient you. I recommend carrying around a knowledgeable guidebook, like Lonely Planet or Rough Guides. Tangier, Casablanca, Fez, and Marrakech are the jewels of Morocco and fun to explore. But it’s the smaller cities that you’ll engage with the laid-back lifestyle and local courtesy: relaxed Meknes, the market town of Taroudannt, sandy beaches at Tetouan, painted rocks at Tafraoute and the ancient desert town of Ouarzazate. Study the map before you go until you can pick out the bus and train stations, taxi stands, the Medina and main streets.

4. Surprising Weather

Perhaps surprisingly, Morocco can be quite chilly in the winter. The winds blow in particularly rough on coastal cities, like Casablanca and Tangiers. Snow is common in the mountain villages, especially around the ski resort of Ifrane. Dress warmly and in layers. Fortunately, you’ll be able to pick up a lot of inexpensive clothes at the markets, so there’s no need to pack a lot. In the summer, heat climbs rapidly; Fez can get as low as 6C in January, but as high as 34C in August


Studying Abroad in Morocco: Everything You Need to Know

Morocco is a terrific starting point in which to build cross-cultural relationships and a deep understanding of the Muslim world.

There are several places to study in Morocco, primarily in the main cities. AMIDEAST has an Area & Arabic Language Studies Program for language learners. Students live with Arabic-speaking families in the capital city of Rabat and learn Modern Standard and Moroccan dialect in class. Rabat is also home to the Center for Cross-Cultural Learning, IES Abroad and CIEE culture programs that promote Moroccan studies and language. There are also summer intensive workshops in Francophone and Arabic studies.

How to get 5,000 views Easily and secure.

After being a part of YouTube for a while, you might have reached a point where you'd be super happy for more views and subscribers. To gain a wider and bigger viewership, you need to produce a more sophisticated and attractive YouTube channel. This can be achieved by following these suggestions, many of which are overlooked by many users when trying to become successful on YouTube.

1.
Craft a recognizable channel name.  It is best to start off from scratch when creating a channel dedicated to what you think could be successful on YouTube. Don’t just add new videos after reading the top ten tips to your badly named channel (e.g. catlover99), with videos of your cat from 2003 still available to view. Use a channel name that is well thought out, to show a professional and iconic channel for users to remember.
For example, a boy named John Smith who likes to sing covers could use numerous channel names like these: JohnSmith, JohnCovers, SmithSings. All easy to remember.
Users will search for your videos and you will soon show up in the first search page rankings and in the auto-remember search bar. That will bring a lot of website traffic to your channel. As well as this, if you do your research into what's trending with current subjects relating to your videos, you can get high views from posting the first video to a new topic (e.g. the first cover song of a certain artist).


2.
Promote yourself and your brand. Self promotion is of the utmost importance. Some sites will share out channels for free. YouTube gives you space around your channel to put in a cool layout, so use this space to your advantage. Many successful users use text and images to show their subscribers and followers their brand.
The "brand" refers to the way that you promote yourself and/or your company/gig and can help define who you are and what you do.
Attractive graphics can bring people back to channels, and help users remember you/your company, which is very important to becoming successful on YouTube.

3.
Name and categorize appropriately. Naming and categorizing your videos correctly is vital to keeping users happy with your content. People like a descriptive title, and a description that's evaluative and truthful. If you lie in your title, you will get negatively thrashed in the ratings bar (putting viewers off instantly). So be sure to keep titles short whilst tagging videos effectively with relatable words to your videos such as: "car", "vehicle", "lorry". Many blogs refer to these techniques as ‘tricks of the trade’. However, in reality, YouTube originally set out the idea of tagging correctly as common sense, and it effectively names your videos appropriately, therefore you will get views from the correct audience. If you don’t you will fail, and end up posting videos in bad categories (like tagging a music cover with: ‘reviews’ ‘technology’... not good.)
When you first start out on YouTube, don’t expect any more than three ratings per video.

4.
Produce good quality videos. When creating a video, produce high quality and fresh content for your audience to look forward to. If you keep a schedule of 'one video a week’ you can spend time working on your video. When shooting a video, there are many methods to success. If you are shooting yourself at a desk, be sure to buy a (white) light to sit in front of you and a high-definition camera to record your beautiful face. Nothing is more annoying than a blurry video, which has been shot in a dark room with rubbish sound and no faded music in the background.


5.
Believe that yourself. This simple yet vital aspect can help you to succeed when putting hard work into building and maintaining your channel.

5 Tricks of the Mind You Need to Master

Our mind plays tricks on us all the time. Unfortunately, advertisers, co-workers, friends, and family around us exploit those common tricks daily. Our minds are so mischievous that we can’t really be sure that anything is the way we see it. What I have learned from my research is that our mind acts in ways that would have helped us with survival at one point. And perhaps these mind tricks still help at times, but often they are now a liability.
Here are common tricks that our brains play on us, and how we can avoid their dangers and exploit their benefits:

1. Thinking about the future. Fearing the future.

The human ability to plan for the future is a very important part of what makes us so successful in our ability to live and thrive. Being able to plan involves making predictions about what will happen in the future, which allows us to acting accordingly. The drawback to this skill is that we sometimes let it run away with itself and see a future that causes us to be afraid.
Fear is a powerful motivator and a great tool if we are in danger, but it can plague us in modern times, when dangers aren’t so obvious and the solution to them isn’t as simple as fight or flee. In Seneca’s words, we suffer more often in imagination than in reality. If you need to approach a difficult situation, use fear as a fuel for motivation. Channel it, rather than letting it paralyze you.

2. Thinking about thinking about thinking…

When we are faced with the question, ‘Who am I?’ many people listen to the thoughts in their heads; the internal narrative they hear in their daily lives. However, when you recognize that voice as just thoughts, you realize that there is some other form of consciousness that is observing those thoughts. The discipline of metacognition can be called ‘thinking about thinking’, or ‘knowing about knowing’. Simply put, it allows us to realize that our thoughts aren’t set in stone and can be altered by other thoughts.
If we were to observe a person on the street who says everything that goes through their head, most of us label them as mentally unhinged. However, the same thing goes on in our heads when we let our thoughts carry on unchecked. The fact that we can change our thoughts by thinking about them is the basis for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and one of the arguments for a more spiritual aspect to humanity, or some form of larger consciousness. Thinking about your thoughts can change your thought patterns and your behavior.

3. Old habits die hard.

Routine has been called the crutch of the mind, and that is entirely true. The remark is often made as an insult and a reason to break routine; but acting unpredictably and without routine on a daily basis would be absolutely exhausting. Habit formation is in no way unique to humans, as Pavlov’s dogs would argue, but our ability to cultivate good habits is something we can learn, once we’ve gone through the (above) process of thinking about how we act and think. Creating a ‘routine’ to frequently exercise, or to express love to a spouse, or to work without distraction, is one of the benefits of having a reprogrammable mind.

4. Winter is coming. Time to hibernate.

When winter starts to approach, our bodies are programmed to conserve energy by eating more or exercising less. This is a natural response when you are in a low-food or temperature environment, but one that is no longer necessary if you are have adequate food and heat. You will feel more tired and hungry than you have any right to be, and your body will try to store fat when it can. Don’t let it. This is one of those tricks of the mind that can’t really be used usefully, only overcome.

5. My reality is not your reality.

Studies by Loftus and Palmer showed that eyewitnesses to car accidents can be incredibly far off the mark when estimating the speed of the vehicles and they can be influenced by the words used when they are asked questions. When it comes to street fights, baffled police frequently come across two people who are convinced that the other person threw the first punch, and neither appears to be lying.
Our minds are able to restructure our memories of an event to make us appear like the good guy, even if we weren’t. And the opposite – anybody trying to introduce themselves to somebody attractive has probably experienced ‘approach anxiety’, where any small comment or gesture becomes a hurtful insult. The positive aspect here is that we can retrain ourselves to see the good in situations instead. The wildly optimistic person may be a bit unrealistic, but it’s hard not to envy him.

How to Be Cool on Facebook

Being cool on Facebook is one part discretion, one part creativity, one part common sense and one part being community oriented. Coolness isn't about pushing your opinions and ideas down everyone else's news feed and it isn't about exposing yourself in embarrassing ways. Cool Facebook users are calm, self-regulated, caring and engaged participants who know what the limits of Facebook are and how to get the best out of the time spent on Facebook (without making that too much time). Here are just a few sensible ways to be cool on Facebook.

1
Have a life outside of Facebook. Facebook is a way to keep others in your life, not a way to create a life, so go out and have yours, in full dimension. Facebook isn't proof that you have friends––friends need real life interaction, not stacking up in a list. Checking your Facebook and keeping your profile up to date are one thing, so don't spend all your time on what should be a tool you use wisely.

2
Avoid typical updates and seek the quirky instead. When talking to your friends using Facebook, avoid the dull details that you'd never share face to face. Knowing your daily movements (interpret that however you like) and your boredom quotient isn't fascinating to anyone and it's definitely not cool. Instead, look for ways to say interesting, different and quirky things that will cause your friends to want to read more. For example, if you discover a friend likes the same band as you, say something like: "Hey I love (blah) too! Do you have their new album?" and then go on to talk about how you were listening to their track when you accidentally dropped a wedding cake on your uncle's dog, or something equally unusual and funny. Seek always to inject good humor into your Facebook interactions. Be truthful if you can, but there is probably some link you can make with something weird that has happened to you and something on their profile.
Change your status about once every two days. Clear it when you haven't done anything interesting recently, rather than posting "Kate has just eaten a sandwich". Keep your post vague, so that all the mystery of your regular life is not revealed immediately.

3
Post regularly but not with such frequency that people think you're wired to Facebook. As a community member, you will be considered cool for participating regularly. However, the cool can veer into uncool all too easily if you overdo your participation and flood people with your messages. Too many messages will come across as overbearing or annoying and you might lose connections as a result.
Avoid posting unless you have something interesting to say. Regularity isn't an excuse for banality.

4
Keep your posts short and pithy. Long posts are a bore and aren't what Facebook was intended for. Short and sweet will keep your Facebook reputation cool, allowing your friends to graze for the tidbits quickly. Keep your information to a few sentences maximum. If you feel the urge to say more, here are some good options:
Get yourself a blog. If you want to explore an issue in-depth over several pages, a blog is the place to be. Your followers will join because that's what they expect. On Facebook, nobody expects this!
Write a novel or an insightful editorial piece.
If you have something personal to say to a friend, then say it in person or via private message rather than expressing it openly on Facebook.

5
Compliment people. Being cool is about focusing beyond yourself and recognizing the good others have done and said. Remember to ask others what they've been up to instead of assuming they care about what you've been up to. By asking people about themselves, you compliment them and they'll want to talk to you again. They'll see you as someone worth cultivating.

6
Don't be nosy. Would you be nosy in real life? The bet is that you wouldn't be half as nosy as you might be tempted to be on Facebook where the social constraints seem less real and actionable. Instead, be constrained and don't go about delving for information in ways that seem pushy or suspicious. Above all, be discreet––post information about yourself and others that is fine for anyone to read; if it's not fit for public consumption, it's not fit for Facebook.
Don't leave comments asking people about their status updates and relationship status changes unless you know them very well. Even then, keep any comment short and avoid making assumptions. What they're saying may well be very different from what you're understanding. If you really must know what's going on, ask them privately.

7
Don't rush to answer everything. Facebook isn't ping pong. You don't need to volley back every post, question or comment. Some things don't need to be commented on at all. Others could probably do with no more than a brief acknowledgement, such as "OK" or "Sounds great", and you can even go as far as to simply like their last comment and leave it at that. Also, slow down your pace when you do respond. For example, if someone invites you to an event, don't respond yes or no right away. Go with "Maybe" and take your time even answering that way. From a coolness factor, answering yes too fast might seem too available or desperate; from a practical factor, it's lovely to have wriggle room when you realize you really can't be bothered participating later.
Wait a few minutes before answering any person's first post, maybe 4 or 5, longer even if you have something else to do (you do have something else to do, right?). However, don't ignore the person when it's clear you're online––leaving a response hanging for 20 minutes is just rude and shows a lack of respect or care for the person. Think how you'd feel and gauge your responsiveness accordingly.

8
Write polite and thoughtful Facebook posts. Think about posts before you write them, and wait two minutes between reading and posting a message, update or reply. Spell properly (there is nothing to be gained by being a sloppy speller), with the exception of recognized and accepted shortcuts (such as LOL and BTW). Keeping it casual is fine but misprinting words just because you can't be bothered to check the spelling isn't cool. Do you want to come across as informed? Then write well.
Use occasional emoticons. Smileys are nice, as long as you don't use them in every post or stack them up with exclamation marks and crazy comments.

9
Be clear and choose your words with care. Much of what we mean comes from our careful (or not-so-careful) choice of words.
Use line break, commas and periods (full stops) to help people understand what you're saying. Also, use normal capitalization––avoid typing everything in uppercase as it isn't appropriate either from a grammar point of view or an etiquette one (it's considered to represent shouting in the online environment and even if you already know that, if you've forgotten, then remind yourself).
State facts, don't gossip. Obscure references to things you've overheard or misread can spark chains of online rumors. Don't let things like that get out of hand. Always check your facts before making bold assertions or statements.
Don't write anything vulgar or sexually oriented. On the whole, most people have such a diverse range of friends that you need to be mindful of a broad audience. If you want to be crass, go to IM with your equally good humored crass-minded friend and get it off your chest in private. When in public view, relax and show you're a normal person everyone feels comfortable talking to.

10
Realize that just because you care about a cause or game, you don't have a right to intimidate people with it. Unfortunately, some rather uncool behavior has appeared on Facebook when it comes to promoting a cause or personal excitement about Facebook linked games. And some people think it's okay to shove their cause in the faces of their friends on a regular basis, winding up to a belting crescendo that guilt people into signing petitions or sending on messages on behalf of the cause or their new initiative. This isn't anywhere near cool––it's invasive and it's exhausting. You'll lose friends if you overdo your passion for anything. Other things to be careful with include:
If you have a few applications that you like, that's great. But don't invite all your friends to do hundreds of quizzes and then clog up your profile with 17 different "Are you snap, crackle or pop?" questionnaires. It grows tiresome very quickly and leaves the impression that you're stuck in Facebook.
Don't send bumper stickers more than once a week.
Who cares if your virtual crops are increasing, your virtual home has had a redesign, or you've become a virtual millionaire on some game? Keep updates about game exploits to an absolute minimum or you risk boring your friends to death.

11
Quit whining and complaining. Gripes are irksome on Facebook. Do you like reading people's distress and down moments on your news feed? Then take it as read that few other people do either. It's really not cool to use Facebook as a grievance forum. There are far more constructive and caring places to deal with personal problems than Facebook.
Equally important is not assuming that people on Facebook will agree with everything you say. If you're opinionated, Facebook really isn't the place to air your fierce opinions. Get yourself a good blog for that part of your creative urge

12
Don't turn comments or messages into things they're not. Stressing over someone sending you 5 X's instead of the usual 6 is a sign of being hooked online too long. Nowadays nobody takes the X's seriously––they're bandied about by everyone and they don't mean that that person wants to start dating you all of a sudden. Treat everything casually and kindly, and if you're not sure what someone is saying for real, don't be shy to ask them in private what's going on but be careful not to overplay your interpretation. Ultimately, assume the best of everyone and realize that if someone gets a little challenging toward you online, not to add fuel to their fire and to acknowledge that perhaps that person has been spending just a little too much time on Facebook. You don't have to stoop to their level!
This extends to not assuming that people you meet on Facebook only are your real friends. They may be total fakes you're interacting with, people who pretend to be someone they're not.

13
Be friendly, relaxed and true to yourself. If you don't feel this trio of self-empowerment, turn off the social media connection until your mojo is restored––often a good sleep or an afternoon off will do the trick. Coolness wears off quickly when you're snappy, irritable and clearly self-absorbed on Facebook.

How to Know if a Girl Likes You

She glances your way, laughs at your jokes, and acts nervously around you. You’re not sure if she’s flirting, being friendly, or is simply uninterested. Whether you’ve had a crush on a girl for ages and are dying to know if the feeling is mutual or you just want to know if she likes you for curiosity’s sake, there are a few nearly foolproof ways to tell whether a girl likes you or not.

 Understanding Body Language Cues

1. 

Look at her stance. When a girl likes you, she will face in your direction. If a girl has her torso turned towards you in an open manner, this means that she is confident talking with you. If she has a closed body position, namely crossed arms or legs, she may be shy or nervous to talk to you or she may simply be creating a barrier to signal that she is uninterested.
When she is sitting with her legs crossed, watch her feet. If they are pointed towards you, it might mean that she likes you and wants to get closer to you.

2.

Pay attention to eye contact. If a girl likes you, she will tend to either hold her gaze on you for a few seconds or glance down the moment your eyes make contact with hers. Either of these responses could mean that she likes you. If she pulls away quickly, it often means she is nervous or not ready to reveal her true intentions yet, but she may still like you.
When a girl likes you, her pupils might dilate, though this will be hard to tell.[3]
If you happen to glance at the girl and you see her staring back at you, this could mean that she likes you.

3.

Take context into account. The way you interpret a girl's body language will vary depending on the context. For example, if you're talking one-on-one with a girl, her touching your arm for a few seconds could be considered flirting. However, if she quickly taps your shoulder to get your attention and tell you that your friend is looking for you, she may really just be trying to help, not flirt.
If you are having an intense conversation, a girl may look at you without breaking eye contact. This does not necessarily mean she likes you. It could just be a conversational practice of hers. However, if she makes eye contact with you for an extended period of time without talking, or if she looks at you and breaks away the minute you look back at her, she may be intrigued by you.

4.

Notice if she touches you or tries to get closer. When a girl likes you, she will often try to touch you, as this is a noticeable yet still subtle way to flirt. It allows a girl to size up how responsive you are. She may touch your arm when you say something funny, “accidentally” brush your shoulder or hands with hers, or gently place her hand on your knee.
Not all girls will feel comfortable reaching out using touch. In this case, don't assume that she doesn't like you just because she doesn't try to touch you. She may be too nervous to do so. If you like her, don't be shy––break the touch barrier yourself and see how she responds.
She may also find other reasons to touch you, such as softly punching your arm. These "one-of-the-mates" moves can be a thinly disguised way of getting closer to you without it being too evident to your friends and hers.

5.

Pay attention to whether she randomly hugs you. This is especially significant if her random hugs are reserved mostly for you. Hugs are a friendly, affectionate way of getting closer to you and touching you without it necessarily compromising her stealthy flirting skills. Return the hug if you like her back, or gently refuse her hug if you don’t want her to get the wrong impression.

6.
