Air BnB
Would you recommend it?
The AirBnB was good, it had a good Location with all the Shops you need directly next to you. But before I was supposed to go to a student residency called „Twenty Campus“ which I would NOT recommend because of the Manager and Team working there.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Le Cabestan, Dar Dada, Milos, West 91, Nomads
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Classes are very easy but professors are very unprofessional and not good at teaching. Also Administration of the University is not really working properly so you have to wait a LONG time for ANY request you have.
Do you have some tips?
Campus is okey but very small compared to Europe of course since it’s a business school and no actual university. The students are very nice though and help you to find your way.
Best trips to do?
Marrakech, Agadir, Rabat, Tanger, Fes, All are very good reachable with the train and busses
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Casablanca?
Get yourself a student tram and bus ticket to save money. Careem, Yango, InDrive are very useful to find taxis. Choose your district wisely since it shouldn’t be too far from the university because traffic is HELL here and it will take you double the time you planned everyday to come to class.
If your going in fall pack enough summer clothes since it will be warm enough until the middle of November. For the rest of the time pack a few sweaters but you won’t need any thick winter jacket.

…
Would you recommend it?
It’s about 25 minutes by taxi or InDrive from ESCA, in a beautiful district, close to many accommodations and restaurants.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
I don’t know, I didn’t go to parties or events, but I think there were a lot.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
I majored in Digital Marketing. The courses were quite interesting, with competent professors and fairly simple evaluations. I’m not sure about the other majors, but Finance seemed a bit more complicated.
Do you have some tips?
The campus was pretty cool, with a small cafeteria downstairs where you could get lots of Moroccan snacks, sandwiches, and so on. There’s also a supermarket about two minutes away on foot, and that’s usually where people go for lunch. If I had to do it again, I definitely would. I’d recommend that people from Morocco maybe try something else, but for international students, I’d say go for it because it’s really a great experience. The schedules weren’t too heavy, so it also gave us time to visit other Moroccan cities. Marrakech, for example, is only about two hours away if you want to have a great time.

What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Casablanca?
In Casablanca, life is rather expensive. In terms of safety, it was okay : you just need to be careful not to take out your phone in the street. As for the weather, it was really nice between September and December: not too hot, not too cold, just right.

What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Casablanca?
Ils parlent tous français, les casaouis sont tous sympas et accueillants. Prenez pas de taxis rouge télécharger indrive, ou careem. Careem ok peut payer en carte bleu sur l’application pas sur indrive. Et glovo pour les Uber eat ça coûte vraiment pas cher. Les courses dans le supermarchés classiques coûtent à peu près le même prix qu’en France
