CONFESSION I've been having trouble motivating myself to just sit and write this blog for some time now, so I have a lot of making up to do since SOOO much has happened!
First Week of Classes
Classes had started two weeks ago so I'm still getting into the groove of things but so far, from what I can tell, it is not too different from what classes are like at Bentley University. I would say the average class size is about 25 more or less, except my Marketing Consumer Behavior class is HUGE. I'm not sure if that's normal or not but it's not too bad. Most of my professors are non-Moroccan (I couldn't think of a better word... international???) except my Arabic professor, of course, who's absolutely BOSS. I am in beginning Arabic and I am in LOVE with this class. It is so much fun because it is so interactive and writing Arabic is such an art with different sounds with different parts of the character. My Arabic Professor doesn't know how to speak English much, but he does the best he can explaining the Arabic words with short English phrases or with hand gestures. Like I said, it's one of the few classes I wouldn't be falling asleep through.
In general, the professors are very strict with attendance even though we are allowed, I think, 3 unexcused absences. But my Arabic professor, for example, really takes attendance seriously because it's only a 50 minute class three times a week, and we cover a lot in each class.
My schedule is very nice actually. I only have one class Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 3:40pm until 4:30, on Tuesdays I have three classes, and on Thursdays, which is my only tough day, I have four classes but it's split up very nicely with a three hour break in between my second and third class of the day.

ADVICE: try not to take any Friday classes.
If you do, take them earlier rather than later because you'd want to leave for your weekend travels as soon as possible. REMEMBER: The last train from Meknes ends at 6PM. The next train leaves at 1:30AM.
