Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"I learned what it really feels like to be colonized (however vicariously) and to live in poverty. I came to understand how you must first go into a place and ask what they need, and work with the local system, for aid to be effective, and how you must allow people access to resources, even while you are trying to protect them, b..."

"The Independent Study portion of the trip was the best learning experience I have maybe ever had. It was a wonderful opportunity to put myself in a position out of my comfort zone, and I was nervous for the first few days. But it ended up being the best part of the trip, I got to work with endangered sea turtles, and I met and g..."

Symone W Barnard College
"I learned to deal with being the center of attention, and to deal with embarrassment, failing at silly little things. I also became so much more comfortable with talking to other people about myself. I found that my interest lies more with human lives than with the environment. I also saw how difficult and complex the problems f..."

I cannot say enough about how amazing the experience was and about how indescribably meaningful it was..."

"I gained a multi-faceted view Rwandan history that I previously hadn't had, which will broaden my understanding of other conflicts and cultures in the world.

A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I went through a wide range of emotions when I was abroad, at some points even wondering why I was doing it, because I missed home so much. Finally, towards the end, it became clear why I did it. Of course I learned about French culture during my stay there, but I also learned a lot about my American culture while I was there. M..."
