Students have two housing options:Homestays—Students live with Moroccan families in modern or traditional homes in various neighborhoods throughout Rabat. Families are carefully selected by local CIEE staff. Most homes combine western and traditional Moroccan elements, and families are typically multilingual. Host families provide breakfast and dinner on weekdays and additional meals on the weekend. Students use public transportation to commute to and from their housing.Student Residence Hall—Students share double rooms in a new residence hall located across the street from the campus of Institut Hassan II and a short bus ride to ESDG. All rooms have bathrooms, kitchenettes, and Internet access. Students receive a monthly meal stipend that is sufficient for two daily meals for use in local markets, restaurants, and cafés. A small cafeteria is located on campus. The residence hall is open to all students, though most of the residents are Moroccans. Students use public transportation to commute to and from their housing.
Students have access to the Internet at ESDG and at Internet cafés throughout the city. Students living in the dormitory have Internet access in their rooms. Some of the homestays offer Internet access as well. Students are encouraged to bring wireless-enabled laptops.

The three-day orientation conducted in Rabat at the beginning of the program introduces students to the city, the culture, and the academic program, and provides students with practical information about living in Morocco. Students begin the Intensive Modern Colloquial Arabic course during orientation. Ongoing discussions and a re-entry workshop at the end of the semester are designed to help students with cross-cultural adjustment and adaptation.
This program does not currently have a blog but will in the future.
