Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Morocco's first English-language public university opened its doors in 1995 with just over 500 students. The campus was modeled after American liberal arts colleges, complete with a golf course, equestrian center, and a chapel-mosque pair symbolizing interfaith dialogue.
Destacados: Step onto the red brick campus and you might think you've landed in New England, not the Middle Atlas Mountains. The university's chapel and mosque sit side by side, a deliberate architectural statement where students of all faiths study under the same cedar-shaded pines.
Consejos de expertos
- Park at the main gate and walk toward the clock tower for the classic campus photo.
- Visit the chapel-mosque pair first, they sit just off the main quad and take 10 minutes to see.
- Stop by the campus cafeteria (open to visitors) for an incredibly cheap Moroccan lunch with students.
- Check the academic calendar before visiting; the campus feels empty during summer break (July-August) and exam periods.
