Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"The program was everything that I hoped it would be and more. I had the absolute time of my life and have truly grown so much as a person as a result of my time there. My Spanish is better, I've learned an incredible amount about plants, animals and the environment, and I'm just a more confident person in general. This program w..."
A student Swarthmore College
"My experience abroad was absolutely worthwhile. The experience helped me to become more independent and self-sufficient. I learned a lot about the Netherlands and about gender and sexuality, and I made some really good friends. I developed a close and lasting relationship with my host family."
A student Smith College
"I learned how to research and learn in an international and professional environment."
Joshua Romanowicz Brandeis University
"I learned how resilient and independent I can be. I had never traveled that far by myself, and I ended up being okay! I learned so much about a culture I had never experienced, and grew in so many different ways."
A student Amherst College
"I gained an understanding of environmental activism, new friendships, an enriched sense of place, and an opportunity to live as an adult"
A student Middlebury College
"I became a calmer, less worried, less frantic, more patient, more loving, more open, happier person because of my experience abroad. I learned to treat everything in life as a learning experience and to approach things and people without expectations or reservations."
Cathleen Calderón Yale University
"How to breakdown media reports to the appropriate representations given the media's background location, and how to navigate certain difficult political situations with geopolitical analysis. Also how important networking is for a career. It was worthwhile."
A student University of Tulsa
"I think this SIT program is unique because it addresses global public health from a more critical viewpoint. We learn about concepts such as structural violence, political and economic histories of the areas we are in and how certain systems work to make some groups more vulnerable or give some people more or less access to heal..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about myself while abroad and it was definitely worthwhile"
A student Middlebury College
"I'm writing a review 2 years from when I did the program, but the study abroad experience continues to be memorable, fresh in my mind, and endearing. This program provided various experiential learning opportunities. We visited private/public/military hospitals and were encouraged to discuss the differences and similarities. ..."
Jason Emory University
"I think it can only be a valuable experience to be put outside of your comfort zone in an unfamiliar place, and be able to become accustomed to new settings and people, with a working understanding of the cultures and history which shapes it. For that reason, this study abroad experience is always going to have its merits. "
A student Anonymous University
"I learned how to live in a different country and communicate in a language and culture that I was not originally comfortable with. It was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Brandeis University
"It was worthwhile. I learned to be very independent, I learned Kiswahili, I grew very close to my friends on the program, I made many friends and I plan to go back after I graduate. "
Hannah Blair Middlebury College
"I learned not to take myself so seriously and appreciate the little things in life. Working with a vulnerable population and learning about the social and health disparities of multiple places, made me more aware of what I want to do professionally as well as the issues my home country has. I think the biggest lesson though was ..."
A student Trinity University
"Language and I now know what I want to do with my career."
A student Brandeis University
"I was able to meet countless amazing and resilient individuals that I would not have met otherwise. These individuals, whether I met them through my ISP or homestay, were able to teach me so much more than some of the lectures we had. It made it all worthwhile and was beautiful to hear their stories. "
A student Middlebury College
"A Mustangi Buddhist philosopher named Jimpa once told me; "If you look back, you will be depressed, if you worry about the future then you will be anxious. If you choose to live in the present then you can find peace""
Erin University of Hartford
"I learned about the culture and Spanish and I learned a ton about myself. It was absolutely worthwhile! "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned how to be aware of my surroundings, and learned to take in all the good and even the bad at times. I gained memories and friendships that will last for a lifetime. "
Marwah Al-Jilani Oregon State University
"I learned an understanding of sepals/SA culture that will allow me to travel/work there in the future."
A student Middlebury College
"This experience was "worthwhile" in terms of being able to immerse myself - as much as is possible given Western, Asian, upper middle class identities - in local cultures. I'm glad to know more about this part of the world, and to know more about myself. I've grown more resilient and less dependent on institutions to support me."
Sofia Chang Carleton College
"Firstly, my spanish skills improved a lot. Second, I think it was really great to be able to spend so long in one country (I had considered other programs that included more travel); I feel like I got to know Chile very well. "
A student Wellesley College
" I gained fluency in Spanish, I learned so much about the Argentinian healthcare system, especially the value of primary care. I was able to intimately experience another culture. Very worthwhile. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned so much about Morocco; its history, where it stands now on so many issues, and about what the future holds for this country. Definitely a worthwhile experience."
A student Skidmore College
"I gained a new perspective on social justice, environmentalism and on life in general beyond what I knew at home or even at school. I had travelled abroad before, but immersing myself in a culture that was so completely different from anything I had ever experienced before was both challenging and extremely valuable. Life is har..."
