Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"I learned a lot about how organizing is so ingrained in Argentina, and how that translates to a very different political culture than we have the in the United States. With that being said, it made me consider more deeply what it means to be from the United States, and the conceptions I have of certain things that culturally spe..."
Daisy J Davidson College
"So very much. A completely different perspective on the world from the SE Asian vantage point, learning first hand about the problematic nature of post-colonialism and tourism, wonderful friends, teachers and contacts and a love of this part of the world that I didn't really know existed. "
Reed Martin Middlebury College
"I learned so much about Latin culture and what its like to travel for a long period of time. "
Priyanka R Brandeis University

Deborah-Virginia K Brandeis University

A student Wellesley College

A student Brandeis University
"I improved my Spanish skills and gained enough confidence to go up to strangers and start conversations. I also learned about the Chilean healthcare system, which added to my understanding of our own healthcare system. "
Sarah S Muhlenberg College
"Prior to the program I didn't have any knowledge of public health (I'm a Biology major), but by the end of it I felt like I had a decent grasp on the field of Public Health and I could have an intelligent conversation with someone about the healthcare system in Argentina and talk about all its pros and cons. "
Anna Bauer Franklin & Marshall College
"Language skills, cross cultural communication abilities, greater independence"
Alex Cohen Trinity University
"I gained confidence, biology skills, and the ability to navigate in social situations where culture and language are not my own."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned not only how to navigate a new city and learn a new language, but I also learned a lot about myself and my identity. I would say that my experience was extremely worthwhile and I would love to do it again. "
Hailey Colby College
"To try to describe everything I learned during this program would be impossible. I learned a lifetime of lessons (as cliche as that sounds). The personal growth from the people on the program and the organization leaders/ beneficiaries we met while explore the social enterprise scene in each country has pushed me into explore mo..."
A student Duke University
"I gained new teamwork skills and the ability to communicate with people in another language. YES, definitely worthwhile. "
Mohini Patel Stonehill College
"Absolutely. You are constantly learning about yourself and your surroundings. In addition, it is more than a vacation. Most days good ones but you live there long enough to where your emotions may go through some hardship. THIS IS OKAY. These moments help you realize what it is you need to do to help yourself. "
Edgar Payano Sewanee: The University of the South
"Aside from gaining an understanding of how people live around the world, what conditions they live in, and how they are still happy regardless, I gained two main things. One, the flame inside of me was re-ignited and I was reminded of the things that once made me feel driven and passionate, and my confidence was restored. Two, I..."
A student Brandeis University
"I apologize for the cliche, but you will truly broaden your view of the world and of foreign cultures on this program. Yes, it is a science program, and I feel like I now intimately understand the ecology and ecosystems and the complex conservation issues that Ecuador faces--and the workload of the courses will make sure that yo..."
A student Colby College
"I learned mainly more about myself and what I care most about. It made me want to be more active in my work and the social justice work I want to do."
A student Brandeis University
"It was incredibly gratifying to integrate into another culture (and another language!) and learn about the social issues that exist in Chile. I felt like every travel experience was purposeful and taught me something about Chilean culture and society. "
Emily Vanderbilt University
"Study abroad really changes you as person. You mature emotionally, socially, and academically. I came back from Argentina a more educated, passionate, and confident individual. "
Megan S Claremont McKenna College
"I learned that it's ok to be outside of your comfort zone because you'll always find your way around with the right people to help you! "
Taisa V Wesleyan University
"Learned a lot, both academically and otherwise. In terms of our education, we learnt a ton of research methods and got to practice them, we learnt how to go about writing a research proposal/paper, we learnt a great deal about the social/environmental issues in Panama, we learnt many theoretical things as well like the classific..."
Tara Verghis Miami University
"I better understood what I do and do not want for my future. The exposure to many different topics helped show me what I enjoy doing. "
Katie W Sewanee: The University of the South
"All in all, it was worthwhile. It was one of the best experiences an aspiring doctor could have. You are forced to meet strangers and discuss intimate details of their life (in another language nonetheless), just like a doctor does when she/he opens the door of an exam room. You become aware of your vulnerability fluctuating, bu..."
