Meet Greta F.

"This was an incredible experience. I was able to travel through Morocco every weekend thanks to the structure of the program and the helpful staff. The courses were serious, the teachers were helpful, and I learned a lot during my time in the classroom. It was a program I would recommend to an adventurous student looking for a safe experience in an Arabic-speaking country."
