[00:00:02.643]I studied abroad in Meknes, Morocco,
[00:00:04.747]I was definitely glad to just jump in and learn the culture,
[00:00:10.755]and I learned to love both the people
[00:00:13.364]and the food was especially great.
[00:00:17.079]So, this is called a kaftan
[00:00:18.670]and it's a traditional Moroccan gown
[00:00:21.332]that you wear to somebody's wedding.
[00:00:24.729]I got to study with students from all over the U.S.,
[00:00:27.324]the classes were great, I got to learn two new languages,
[00:00:30.679]and I actually want to be a Peace Corps member in Jordan.
[00:00:36.218](motorcycle engine)
[00:00:38.634]I was really looking forward to
[00:00:39.614]going to the Sahara Desert,
[00:00:40.804]just because it's unlike anything
[00:00:42.140]I've ever seen or been too,
[00:00:44.625](yelling)
[00:00:46.649]Climbing the tallest peak in Northern Africa
[00:00:48.970]was really difficult, physically, mentally, emotionally,
[00:00:53.545]it was incredible, you just feel invincible.
[00:00:56.828]Go Huskers!
[00:00:59.263]The university has so many different resources
[00:01:01.988]for you to take advantage of to study abroad
[00:01:03.748]to make it very affordable.
[00:01:05.083](light guitar)
[00:01:07.331]I think, studying abroad just,
[00:01:08.921]it makes you more of a citizen of the world.
[00:01:11.703]I'd never dreamed to be able to
[00:01:13.854]go to so many different countries.
[00:01:15.609]When somebody asks me, oh, where to you want to go next?
[00:01:17.572]I can't even give them a definite answer,
[00:01:19.147]because there's so many different places I want to see,
[00:01:21.722]I would definitely go back to Morocco though,
[00:01:23.642]Morocco definitely stole my heart.
[00:01:25.642](upbeat music)
