Personal recommendation
Be open to dialogue with other students, both foreign and Tanzanian. Always travel with a friend whenever leaving the campus. Be patient with the pace and scheduling of courses - they can be quite slow, unorganized, and ill-structured. Try not to be intimidated in any situation. - I know it will be difficult at times, but you deserve to be there just as much as anyone else - don't forget that. Also, be careful. People, including other students will try to take advantage of you in one way or another. Be strong and direct. Do not let yourself be bullied or pushed around. And make rational, sound decisions in whatever you do. - It's very easy to get yourself into trouble. It's better to take the time to think things out and be safe, than to make the wrong decisions and wish you haden't. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy. It will surely be an invaluable learning experience - just being in Tanzania!

Final comments
Be strong. Be patient. And maintain a good sense of humor about different things. You will certainly encounter a lot. Try to take as much into perspective as is possible, but do not risk your own safety. You are a foreigner in a very foreign country, and people are able to visually recognize you as such. Adaption to your new envoronment takes time. But in the end, I know that your experience will be very rewarding. Tanzania is a very beautiful country with equally beautiful people. It is up to you to share with others your thoughts and experiences abroad. You are a link between two foreign worlds. Thus, you are a valuable resource of information. Many are not as fortunate as you have been to visit such a wonderful place, so always keep that in consideration.
