Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"This was definitely worthwhile in that I have gained so many life experiences from doing this. From traveling to different to countries, living with a host family, and writing a research program. "
A student Brandeis University
"I came in fairly ignorant of Tibetan culture and history and left with not only a greater understanding of that, but also with friendships that I hope will last long after the 4 months of the program. This was the best decision I made in college."
Trevor Goodwin Lafayette College
"This program allowed me to pursue my academic interests (environmentalism, conservation, biology), improve my Spanish skills, learn about a new culture, and make friends with like-minded people. I had many experiences that I never would have been able to have as a tourist or visitor in the country. I felt very well supported by ..."
Ellie C Tufts University
"I have so much experience that I feel comfortable pursuing a career in biological research. Learning in the field, being exposed to different field methodologies, carrying out an independent project, and gaining lots of experience with scientific writing fulfilled much of that. Secondary learning in language and culture was also..."
A student Muhlenberg College
"I gained confidence in my language abilities, as well as confidence in field techniques. I gained tools to define effective research methods and complete independent projects to successful conclusions."
Rae L University of Colorado - Boulder
"It was definilty worthwhile. I learned a lot about sustainability and environmental activism as well as about aboriginal and indigenous culture. "
A student Wellesley College
"Some students were disappointed or surprised by aspects of the program. For several, there was too much emphasis on learning the Tibetan language. They did not find it useful for navigating the Nepali context. Or they found it simply too difficult and mentally opted out. While I empathize with their concerns, I personally found ..."
A student Whitman College
"I learned more about my interests in the field of gender and sexuality studies and potential career directions."
A student Franklin & Marshall College
"field techniques, knowledge of natural history, spanish proficiency, comfort in navigating a foreign country. Yes."
Zane Libke Davidson College
"I learned about Chile’s History like the Dictatorship, the constitution, its neo-liberal system, privatized system, marginalized groups, issues that oppress citizens. I learned about the indigenous communities: Aymara and Mapuche. I learned about afro descendents, new waves of immigrant groups. I learned the manner in which ..."
A student Brandeis University
"This program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I learned so much about Coastal Ecology and Natural Resource Management and about the local culture. I also grew as a person. The SIT Staff pushed me to do things outside of my comfort zone, which allowed me to produce an ISP project that I would not have thought possi..."
A student Gettysburg College
"I became a lot more independent and confident in myself. "
emma k Colgate University
"This was a great program to improve my Spanish, learn about public health, and explore Argentina."
A student Bowdoin College
"I learned that I am much more independent and capable of traveling on my own than I anticipated. I believe that this experience was 100% worthwhile and feel like I learned a lot about myself and my true interests."
A student University of Oregon
"We got to study climate change and the Arctic first hand and this is not an opportunity many people get. I feel like I gained more than I thought I ever would form this experience. "
A student Swarthmore College
"I learned how to learn differently. Having field-based learning experiences was a new thing to me. There were not people reminding me what I needed to do every day so I also had to learn to be self-motivated. It was 100% worthwhile because I developed my character and learned more about myself as a person."
A student University of St. Thomas - Minnesota
" I was confused about what I wanted to do with my life prior attending this program. With the help of the faculty, my path and career are now unfolding."
Hadi El Rabbat Stonehill College
"An entirely new worldview, life-long friendships, and a deep appreciation for cultural differences and human connections."
Eben Yonnetti University of Virginia
"I learned so much more about the U.S. and my own hometown than I expected. To explore my own system of beliefs and values from an outside perspective was eye-opening and perhaps the most important part of the experience."
Jared Steiman University of Tennessee - Chattanooga
"I gained perspective, inspiration, practical public health knowledge, experience interning abroad, international family and friends, and more. It was absolutely worthwhile."
Jeshurun Adarquah-Yiadom Spelman College
"Language fluency, appreciation for other cultures, perspective on the United States in terms of world relations"
Alana Occidental College
"I learned even more about how to live on my own/with friends and come up with routines to keep myself learning and happy. I feel way more prepared for life after college as a result. On top of that, I learned a ton about the politics and cultures of the areas we visited, and how climate change will impact those areas."
A student Bowdoin College
"I significantly improved my writing and research abilities, making it extremely worthwhile in for my future academic work and desired career field. "
Ariel Murray Smith College
"I greatly enjoyed my experience with SIT Nepal. It is hard to summarize an experience that proved so humbling, beautiful, and warm in a few words. I would highly suggest this program to anyone who is looking to challenge themselves, has a good degree of humility, and is easygoing. The staff of SIT NPT are exceptionally kind, tho..."
Rachel Washington University in St. Louis
"The SIT Nepal: Tibetan and Himalayan Peoples study abroad program was a remarkable highlight of my time in university. Through a refreshing taste of experiential learning, we engaged with communities across Nepal in productive, meaningful ways. Learning in the field instead of the classroom inspired us all to be more invested in..."
