Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"everything about myself, spirituality, the lesson of accepting the unknown."
A student Brandeis University
"I gained a totally new perspective on health care and the role it plays in the world. This perspective showed me many more possibilities for paths I could take in my life and introduced me to new interests."
A student Brandeis University
"Seeing as SIT does so much traveling, I was really able to see other parts of the country in a way that I didn't with my previous study abroad program. It left me wanting to see even more of Morocco and explore these on my own next time. "
A student Middlebury College

A student Brandeis University
"Very worthwhile- gained self confidence "
A student Brandeis University
"Yes. I loved the opportunity to live independently and with a homestay in the small Icelandic fishing town of Isafjordur. It was wonderful immersing oneself in a local, tightly-knit community and learning a bit about Icelandic culture through experience. It is amazing to be able to live in Iceland and say you're not just a touri..."
Morgan Perlman Middlebury College

"I learned a new language and about gender and race politics in other countries."
Atia Butts Brandeis University
"While I certainly learned about climate change and the arctic ecosystem/culture, more than anything, I learned about people and how to function independently. Life can be tough in the bitter cold of Greenland and darkness of Iceland but these communities have adapted and figured out what to do with what little they have - a key ..."
A student University of Maine - Orono

A student Brandeis University

A student Brandeis University
"It was 100% worthwhile, and I'm so glad I chose this program. It was the perfect blend of topics of history, politics, economics, anthropology, social justice, community development, culture, and more. I learned more outside the classroom than within it, and am so grateful for the experiential learning structure that is emphasiz..."
Alexandria Brandeis University

A student Wellesley College
"I learned a ton from my experience abroad. I learned a ton about South Africa, and this helped me to think about the U.S. in a different way. I learned that I can go through difficult situations without my usual support systems and still make it through. I gained independence, confidence in my abilities, more knowledge about the..."
Michaela Cabral Brandeis University
"I learned about my history as an African American and I learned about different cultures. This program was worthwhile because I made lifelong friends in the program and in each country. "
Tia Coleman Xavier University of Louisiana
"My experience abroad was definitely worthwhile! I loved traveling around Switzerland and our excursion to Greece.

A student Wellesley College

Harper Baldwin Middlebury College
"YES SO WORTHWHILE. Gained friends, stories, the ability to really just go for it and do so much out of my comfort zone, how to deal with myself, how to deal with awkward situations. I learned equally about me as an individual as I learned in terms of academic content and language development. Such a rewarding experience, I think..."
