Arba Minch stands for Forty Springs. It is a naturally-gifted town located 502 km south of Addis Ababa. It takes 9 hrs to get there. I had to take anti-malaria pills because Arba Minch is a high risk area for malaria. Arba Minch University (ABU) has some similarities with Zamorano, my undergrad school. Students have to live on campus and the curfew starts at 10:00 pm. Students seeking a degree in Agriculture (ABU also offers Architecture and other degrees) have to work the land and raise animals which is similar to the learning-by-doing philosophy of Zamorano.
