Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"I made meaningful relationships with my host family, with the program directors, and with the other students in my program. I learned a lot about myself, what i value, and how I want to live my life. I learned how to communicate with people from other parts of the world, I learned how to conduct my own research project, I gain..."

A student Barnard College

"I had very little fieldwork experience before my program, and knew the minimal amount of ecology for my program. After the program, I was by no means an expert, but definitely knew a lot more than when I began the program. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot of normal glasslike things to learn about, but I think more importantly I learned to be confident in my Spanish and how to use it. I also learned so much about life, as I'd never lived in a city before and spent such an extensive time in a new culture."
Julia R Colby College
"I realized how interested I was in ecology and actual research. This program only served to increase my passion for environmental science and protecting nature. Even though I've been sick for a while after returning, I would do it all over again without hesitation. The only thing I was upset about was having to leave!!"

"I learned a lot about the peoples and cultures of Peru. Additionally, I greatly improved my Spanish skills and feel much more confident in my ability to communicate with others in Spanish. I made many great friends, both Peruvian and from the states, that I know I will stay in touch with for a long time to come. I learned many t..."

"I deeply cherish my study abroad opportunity with the SIT Perú: Globalization and Indigenous People program.

"Mastery of a language, a host of new friends (many of whom I consider family), and a different adventure every day. I couldn't have asked for more."
A student Kenyon College
"I learned how to engage in a new kind of community I had never experienced before; living with an indigenous group really alters the way we understand our roles within the world and especially from the US. I have never been more continually shocked by US involvement in Chilean politics and never been more impressed by the openne..."

"Living independently, adjusting to new cultural environments, greater insight into the history and politics of the region"
Scarlett K Wellesley College
"I gained a better awareness and love for the multicultural realities that exist in our world and gained a lot of self confidence by speaking Arabic daily and stretching myself by traveling and living in a place so different from what I defined as familiar five months ago. In other words, now the medina in Rabat and the US feel b..."
Micah B Wellesley College
"I gained tons of confidence, felt that I grew a lot because of what I was exposed, gained new amazing friends, gained knowledge about a country I can go back and tour people around a city, learned the benefits of my citizenship and it was just another learning experience thats a must, in order to understand. "
Cristal H Brandeis University
"I learned so much about myself and about Madagascar's people and culture. I became more independent and learned what living in a third world country is like. I also learned about the biodiversity in Madagascar and was able to study lemurs in the wild. "
Kate C University of Tulsa
"I learned how to independently navigate a city in a language I do not know. I improved communication skills, I am less hesitant to reach out to people I would like to learn from or meet and I am more extraverted. I learned how to connect with people more easily/ readily, how to find commonalities and similar values. I learned ho..."

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. "

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 ..."
