By Hind Aghmou and Amal Basslam

We attended a presentation about studying abroad at Salahdin Elayoubi high school in Tinghir on 23 November 2013. We got a lot of information about the way and requirements to study for example in France, USA, Canada… The presenter told us about all the things that we need for studying abroad, and he said that we must have good marks and also we must get  certificates which show that we could speak French or English languages. He gave us also information about scholarship and he talked about the conditions of studying there and he said that they are very difficult; we can ‘t adapt easily because of cultural differences. And life is very expensive there. Then he spoke about the emigration and he gave us the example of the migration of scientists and he insisted that if we go to study there we must came back to develop our country. After, he advised us to be patient if we go there, because we’ll feel lonely and homesick and we’ll just think about when we’ll come back. He also told us about the advantages of studying abroad and he said that the diplomas of the universities there are very important and they give a big chance to have a good job there or in Morocco. Finally, he told us that the most important thing is to develop our level for being the best there or here.
