<p>Three times a week, sophomore Chase Troxell climbs to the very top of Olin Hall and, along with five other classmates, crowds into a tiny room with an excellent view of the Residential Quad. They all file into the seats in front the row, awaiting the professor,
who walks in, looks up and greets the class before her, saying, “Marhaba.” Hello. The six Arabic students dutifully respond to their teacher. Class has begun.</p>

<p>Troxell, a computer science major, is in his fourth semester studying Arabic, a language he decided to study during his first semester at Tufts.</p>
