Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"I learned a significant amount of Spanish, I took 3 classes towards my major, and I got to make so many friends. It was beyond worthwhile."
Caitlyn Y Trinity University
"It was worthwhile in that I learned how not to do a study abroad program and I learned a lot about myself, but the program is poorly set up."
A student Berea College
"I learned a lot. For one, I gained valuable experience with conversational Arabic. I was able to make connections in my future field. I gained both academic and life experience. "
A student Brandeis University
"It was the best experience of my life. I learned about myself and about the world. It was absolutely worthwhile--it opened my eyes. "
Jack H Brandeis University
"I gained a deeper understanding of 'post'-apartheid South Africa. I learned about the intricacies of operating a multicultural nation - its challenges, complications, etc. I learned about local cultures and their complications with representation in a multicultural state. It was definitely worthwhile. I wouldn't have wanted ..."
Justin B Brandeis University
"Excellent research experience, exposure to serious issues, and cultural immersion. Definitely worthwhile but not easy. "
A student Brandeis University
"Language. Maturity. Friends. Cultural exchange"
A student Brandeis University
"I would rank my experience in Madagascar as the number one most important decision I have ever made. I am not exaggerating when I think I thought about it every day for the first 2 years after leaving. I would literally trade anything to go back for one day. I gained so much knowledge not only about Madagascar, but about the wor..."
Sean D Colby College
"Learned how to be humble and blend in to a host country while engaging and keeping an open mind to make the most of each day. "
Alexander M Middlebury College
"I learned far too much to summarize concisely. I learned so much about my own character while I was abroad, in addition to tons of fascinating information about indigenous & local cultures and about the natural ecology and & resource management of the Amazon rainforest."
Lauren D Trinity University
"Yes! I learned so much. From how to cook, how to use Chilenismos properly, how to avoid natural disasters, and how to set up a doctor's appointment in South America. "
Emily B Dickinson College
"human rights, yes"
Underbrinkler Trinity University
"As an anthro major, I'm happy that I developed field work skills and produced research that I am proud of. Before I left, I was afraid to work too outside of my comfort zone, but going abroad made me realize my "comfort zone" is really much more flexible than I thought. Also, Madagascar developed as a serious area of academi..."
Gabrielle R Barnard College
"Living in Vietnam provides a unique backdrop for learning about the developing/eastern world, especially from an American perspective. Immersing yourself in any foreign culture will undoubtedly change how you look at things, refine your world view, and give you a strong connection to the culture you're a part of. All of this hap..."
Joe C Brandeis University
"Absolutely worthwhile. I gained a respect for language, religions, and people of which I was previously completely unaware; I made a lasting connection with a Nepali family, with whom I still remain close; through independent research, I began to understand the challenges of Nepal's current food structure. "
A student Middlebury College
"I am better at speaking Spanish, went on wonderful excursions, and made good friends. I did not learn much."
Petra N Brandeis University
"This program allows you to meet a lot of people and communities that you wouldn't otherwise. I meet so many inspiring people that taught me so much about myself and about Panamanian culture. Completely worthwhile experience and I can't wait to go back. "
Katharine E Wesleyan University
"The obvious answer would be that it's much easier for me to write research papers. The ISP process is an invaluable experience that I wish for everyone to have, and I have learned that I want to conduct research in the future. But I also gained a lot of confidence outside of the area of academia. I feel much more comfortable ..."
Bethany C Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about IR and French. It was definitely worth while. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I gained valuable into an area of the world that I previously knew little about, and made life long friends along the way. The health program, in particular, educated me on Jordan's health care system more thoroughly than I could ever have hoped for. My host family and the SIT teachers were excellent, and I know that if I am eve..."
Student829 Vanderbilt University
"It was definitely worthwhile, and I'm glad that I did SIT, even if it wasn't as challenging as I expected. Peru is an amazing country--it has jungle, mountains, beaches, everything and the people wonderful."
A student Illinois Wesleyan University
"Of course it was worthwhile. Every experience I've had abroad (they're extensive!) has been worthwhile in it's own way. I learned to go with the flow, and trust that though my program isn't perfect, in the end I needed to be the one to make it meaningful for myself. That being said, given the opportunity to do it again, I would ..."
A student Middlebury College
"I became more confident, more self and globally aware, empathetic towards others, mature, strong, adventurous, curious about others' lives, and I developed a serious love for traveling and teaching children in less privileged areas."
Lucy S Trinity University
"Definitely worthwhile. Language ability increased greatly"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about Australian history and culture. The program focused on environmental action and was very personal and encouraging. Unfortunately, being an environmental studies major, I didn't feel like I was learning a lot of new information. The independent research project was challenging and empowering. "
