The courses are hard, you have to work a lot, it can impact your exhange experience.
Do you have some tips?
The campus is really cool, with a good students life. But there is a lot of work. However, you have enough time to discover Morocco, and have good time.

Morocco is super nice and people here very friendly. Very cool to discover fully the country. Be careful depending when you are, you’ll have to rent a car (even if taxi is not that expensive) For exemple I’m living at plage des nations and the best solution to transport was to rent a car (470 euros for a Dacia Logan, very good price)
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Theatro Marrakech
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
The course are very classic.
Do you have some tips?
The facilities are insane. You can do your sport for free on campus. For exemple I do kick boxing with a former world champion for free.
Best trips to do?
Chefchaouen 4 hours from rabat (then go to tetouen see the waterfall) Fès 2 hours from rabat Marrakech 3 hours from rabat
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Rabat?
The facilities are insane, they love football and muscle development so you can do for free or rent a football pitch (some of them are front of the sea)

Very nice with good accommodations, tennis, basketball, swimming pool, cafeterias, paddle courts … Living on campus means not having to pay 90 dirhams of taxi overall to go to eash class. However most other exchange students chose to live in the city or near by : Sala Al Jadida, Rabat Agdal, Souissi
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Do not count on the student bureau for parties. In Rabat the night life is not very developed but the best places are Skybar, Sofia palace, Bazart, Dom Petiscos For big parties go to Marrakech
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Audit track was very interesting
Do you have some tips?
Good accomodations, opportunities (carrer fair)
Best trips to do?
Tanger/Chefchaouen, Marrakech/Merzouga, Ifran, GO TO MOGA FESTIVAL in Essaouira !!
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Rabat?
Download Indrive and Careem to circulate around the city. Everything is far from eachother, if you can rent a car (especially if you live outside campus)
