Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"Saw three countries in three months (as well as time spent in California at the start of the program) and learned so much about how the world works.

A student Trinity University
"I became a much more resilient and patient person because of my time abroad, and I had an amazing group with me, with whom I bonded incredibly.

"It is nearly impossible to write in this box what I learned from this experience so quickly after it has ended, but I will say that it is certainly worthwhile.
