Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"I gained a whole new understanding of people, development, and education. I also gained an amazing group of friends who were always willing to have those super deep and difficult conversations about everything we encountered abroad. "
Kindra H University of Evansville
"I gained a new way of looking at the world through this program; the cultural immersion experience helped me understand what daily life is like in a low-income country, while stereotypical perceptions of Africa as being only known for poverty and violence"
Ernest Yale-NUS College
"My experience in Madagascar was truly incredible. The orientation portion really prepares you for integrating with your homestay families, and the subject matter of the courses challenges you in a new and unique way. You get to explore three very different areas of the island country, from Tana to Morondava, and all three have s..."
Lyric Kleber University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"You will definitely gain some form of awareness about global relations and interactions. For me, I became far more aware of how my actions in the US actually have effects for people all over the world. "
Noah K University of Washington
"It was more than worthwhile - it changed my perspective, my goals, my sense of the world, and my view of myself. I am so grateful for the people I met along the way who I know call friends. "
Charlotte Scharfenberg University of Virginia
"I was hesitant about going to Vietnam, but I LOVED it! I felt like I learned so much and the SIT staff was so valuable in helping me to acclimate and build community and experience Vietnam. I could not recommend this program more, and the four months I spent there were some of the best of my life. I felt like I learned and exper..."
A student Vanderbilt University
"I learned about a culture completely different than my own, a difficult (but rewarding) language, how people my age think about their society and fill their free time, and how our perception of Vietnam (especially regarding the Vietnam War) is biased and based on stereotypes that do not represent the Vietnamese people. "
Alexandria Cahill George Washington University
"I learned about Peruvian culture and I do feel like it was a good experience to live in a foreign country"
A student Middlebury College
"I really cannot summarize what I gained and learned while in Jordan in just a paragraph. What I can say, though, is that I left the country being a different person. The insight I earned on countless topics, the invaluable cultural interactions, the experience of being immersed in such a particular country... It was definitely w..."
Raul T Rollins College
"Language, independence, confidence etc. All worth it! "
A student Occidental College
"I learned a lot about going with the flow. It was hard as a bit of a control freak to come to the terms with the fact that most everything was not going to be 100% on my terms and that there was going to be some form of compromise involved. The friendships I made with fellow students on my program, laughing at these uncontrollab..."
Samantha Hoinville Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about climate change -- which was intense, but I'm really glad I know the things I know now. I feel like a really changed person as a result of the things I learned and the people I met."
A student Smith College
"I am now more comfortable in who I am as a person. I learned what my goals are and I was able to do this abroad because of the lack of experience and comfort many have in a foreign place. I had to really reflect and evaluate what I wanted to put out into the world and this opportunity encouraged me to do that. "
Emily P Bates College
"It made me really appreciate home, and I don’t know if I needed to go to Ecuador to do that. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned more Arabic and got to experience Tunisian culture, which has aspects of Arab culture and French culture combined. This was very worthwhile and I don't regret my decision."
Peter H Wheaton College, MA
"So many new friends, understanding and appreciation of Arab culture, improvements in Arabic, etc!"
Madelyn Vanderbilt University
"I gained knowledge in research skills, improved my Spanish and grew my understanding of the local culture. It was very worthwhile. "
Laura H University of Iowa
"Everything, and absolutely. "
Troy V Occidental College
"The program was definitely worthwhile - I improved my Spanish, learned about important ecological concepts, conducted my own research, and learned to live with less during a month of living in the Amazon. "
A student The College of Wooster
"It was worthwhile. I made some lasting connections and learned a lot about a world that isn't always talked about. "
A student Loyola University Chicago
"I learned so much about Morocco and about being a global student during my time in Rabat. It was so interesting to learn about the ways that post-Arab Spring Morocco has shaped its identity within the larger context of the MENA region and within its proximity to Europe."
Kristen Luther College
"I gained a more nuanced understanding of the region's politics, people and language. You do not simply learn, you experience it. "
Tracey Spaugh University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"A lot about climate justice movements and indigenous climate activism."
Samuel Alexander Middlebury College
"It opened my mind to more of the world which I think is extremely valuable for a young person. I learned more than I ever would have staying at my university for a semester and made friends who go to other universities all across the united states. "
Kira O University of Oregon
"This program showed me how to live a balanced life, and I found a passion for birds and fish! It was a once in a lifetime experience!"
Mikayla H Middlebury College
