While most college students studying abroad go to countries like England, France and Spain, I chose a country that few Americans can even locate on a map. In fact, if they know what continent it's on then they're already ahead of the game. (Just so you know, Morocco is on the northwestern tip of Africa, just south of Spain.)
I chose Morocco because I wanted to study in a country that would provide stark contrasts to the western view of life and hopefully challenge my perspective of the world. And in the brief time I've been here so far, I've realized how living in the richest country of the world provides a completely different way of looking at the world compared to that of a much poorer country.
