Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"I gained so much confidence from my semester, and I learned that I was capable of more than I thought I was. I've also come back home with a stronger sense of what I want to do with my life, and my ISP made me incredibly excited for life after college. I definitely think my semester abroad was worthwhile, even if it was a diffic..."

A student Middlebury College
"I couldn't possibly fit into this small box everything I gained from my experience abroad. I gained a whole new way of looking at the world, which I didn't realize until returning to the States. It was the most worthwhile experience of my college career. "
Leah R Middlebury College
"What it was like to live in a developing country. Most shockingly, how friendly/honest these people were and accepting of us students. I've learned to be very independent and self-reliant."
A student University of Hartford
"I learned so much I couldn't possibly write it all here, or even write it anywhere for that matter. Would recommend this program to anyone!!"
Caitlin B Villanova University
"You can't really sum up what you "gain/learn" on this program in a little text box on an internet survey, but at the most basic level, how to be flexible and go with the flow, and to chose what is right. So incredibly worthwhile."
Annika S Middlebury College

Katarina O Fordham University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and what kinds of things I like/don't like about my American culture and Peruvian culture. I gained more of an appreciation for American culture, but also more of an admiration for the struggles people of Peru have gone through. It was also amazing to see things I've rea..."
A student Providence College
"I learned so much about myself, Rwanda, and how I want the things I learned to shape my future. "
Catherine P Fordham University
"I learned to look at other cultures from another perspective, and to not so easily judge. I also learned first-hand the hard balance between people and the environment, especially in third-world countries. It was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Austin College
"I learned a lot about both the Amazon and about myself. It was definitely worthwhile."
Sarah G Austin College
"I experienced more happiness than I've ever known while abroad."
Alexandra S Barnard College
"Mostly, I just feel so lucky that I have seen the animals and plants and landscapes that I saw in Ecuador. I found poison dart frogs and cock-of-the-rocks. I watched an anaconda attack a cayman and a hammerhead swimming alone while I snorkeled above it. I wanted a break from the midwest landscapes and the intense academic set..."
Ellen D Carleton College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned millions of things that I couldn't possibly summarize in this little box. For starters, I learned a lot of Spanish. I learned how to find my way around a foreign city. I learned a lot about poverty and development and how to think differently about these topics. I learned that laughter, lo..."

"Yes, the experience - especially in retrospect - has formed my cultural awareness, and is constantly affecting my personal choices and life direction. "
Noah B Middlebury College
"It was an incredible experience and I would not change anything about it, My study abroad experience has completely changed my outlook on Morocco and the Middle Eastern culture as well as allowed me to learn so much about a culture so completely different to our own here in the US"
Allison W Fordham University
"Absolutely. I never would have learned spanish otherwise "
Nora M Fordham University
"A part of the program is to conduct a month-long independent study project, so in doing this research by myself I gained valuable experiences such as knowing how to talk to people who don't necessarily have the same background as myself, to be persistent, to be cutthroat, organizational skills, and keeping a goal in mind. Cultur..."
Ivana W Villanova University
"My study abroad experience was definitely worth it, and I only wish I could've extended it to a full year."
