Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"Being abroad taught me so much about my ability to navigate a new city independently. I learned a lot about myself, honed my Spanish skills, and developed relationships with an amazing family. I would recommend that anyone that has a chance to study/live/work abroad does so - it is life changing!"
A student Trinity University
"I think the biggest gain from the program was the ISP experience of doing original research immersed in the topic and culture that I was studying. It boosted my confidence in operating in Spanish. Made great friends. Worthwhile. "

"Traveling is always an incredible, eye-opening experience. My program focused on indigenous people and globalization--so now I am very aware of social issues concerning inequality, language extinction, and gentrification. I feel less attached to my material possessions and have gained a love for cultural exchange. I often keep u..."

austin n Middlebury College
""Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves ... Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you wil..."

"Confidence in the language, an amazing second family, life long friends and travel companions, and an understanding of Chilean culture and public health."
Sayre W Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about the Netherlands, the United States by comparison and myself. This experience was amazing but definitely more so on the personal level than an academic one. I suggest anyone looking to expand and explore themselves in a new, safer environment to consider this program. Particularly queer and allied folk. I ha..."
Dillon H Brandeis University
"I don't think I can even begin to summarize what I learned in this little box. It was more than worthwhile and I don't think I could've picked a better place to go to truly experience living abroad."
Sara F Brandeis University
"A huge amount of information on climate change and issues of environmental justice, agriculture, and inequality. I had my doubts during the program, but it was absolutely worth it by the end."

"new perspective, more self-direction and confidence"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned many lessons, many from experiences that are thus hard to put into words. I learned about South African history, politics, human rights, identity formation, and other topics, as well as about human connection. It was one of the most worthwhile experiences I've had. "
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"Self-awareness and friends."
zoe.kaslow Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile but very stressful due to the lack of communication and extreme structure, which both take some time getting used to if you're more accustomed to a flexible schedule."
A student Fordham University
"I got a lot of life experience and a great overview of the health network globally as well as how policy is developed. It was worth it as I made some very great friends and loved working on/presenting my independent study project."

A student Brandeis University
"Above all, language skills! International exposure, participation in and knowledge about a new culture, connections and friendships with Chileans… Yes! It was definitely worthwhile!"
