Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"I became even more confident, mature, and independent. If you want to make correct decisions about your future in this now global world, you need to see what the world has to offer. This doesn't mean that I will end up living somewhere outside the US. It means that I am more confident in the decisions that I make because I have..."

"Absolutely. I have a much better understanding of another culture and of myself. The experience has helped me solidify what I want to do with my life as well as show me what life has to offer."
Graciela Q Carleton College
"I would have never been able to learn the things that I did about Rwanda had I not been studying in the country. I have such a good understanding of the country, and it has prompted me to continue to study this very complicated and interesting region. I now have a better idea of what I would like my comps to be. "
Claire M Carleton College
"I learned a lot about myself and gained a lot of perspective. You always hear about how poor people are in other countries, but actually seeing these people and how they live is life-changing. Bonding with foreigners (particularly those with whom I shared no common language) was incredibly meaningful and I plan on keeping in con..."

Brian M Austin College
"It was worthwhile because I want to work here in the future, I fell in love with Geneva and I hope I can work for the ICRC or UNHCR one day. I met some amazing people and made lifelong friendships; I have a Swiss family that I plan on visiting sometime again next year; I learned about my capabilities through the experiences I ha..."

"This has been by far the most rewarding experience of my life. I want to come back to Brazil in the future and I could see myself living here. This program fit beautifully into my academic plan, as my college has each student in their last year do a large project, sort of like a senior thesis. I'm using my ISP here to shape my..."
Olivia D Hampshire College
"We had the oppertunity to not only discuss differnet social and environmental issues that are happening in Brazil, but were able to visit the places where they were occuring, talk (and sometimes live) with the people that were being directly affected by these things. My understanding for this culture is no where near complete, b..."
Scott M Austin College
"After doing this program, I know that I want to be involved in community organizing. Additionally, I now want to move to Northern Ireland because I enjoyed working with many of the groups there as well as the culture there. I learned many strategies for coping with conflict. Additionally, I learned just how complicated conflict ..."

"I experienced an incredible amount of personal growth on my program. "
Shaomin C Harvard University
"I’m torn by this question because in some ways my study abroad experience was worthwhile, but in some ways it wasn’t. Having already traveled around Africa, I think if I was given the opportunity to choose again, I might’ve preferred an exchange program. For the amount of money my family paid, I wish I had more cultural immersio..."
Ashley W The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience with Brazil was incredible. I connected with the local culture, became fluent in Portuguese and made many friends. But this had nothing to do with the SIT program. The program was very frusterating, disorganized and many of the activities were an absolute waste of time. Our final projects were poorly monitored ..."
Kathryn S Trinity University
"Yes it was completely worth the money for the people that I met, the experiences I had, the places I saw, and the life long friends that I made."
Claire J The University of Texas at Austin
"Absolutely. I learned so much more by living in Serbia and traveling to Kosovo, Bosnia, and Croatia than I could have in any course or book. Having the opportunity to design and conduct my own research project was also invaluable. I learned how challenging and rewarding fieldwork can be and was able to create original research o..."

"I really can't elaborate on this in a coherrent way. It was an incredible experience tha all college aged individuals should do"
matt H Providence College
"My experience abroad confirmed my love of travel, cultures and experiencing new things. I know now that I can live outside of the United States, navigate public transportation in a foreign country, become conversant in another language and have an amazing time doing it! After coordinating meetings, listening to lectures and writ..."
Taylor J The University of Texas at Austin
"Culturally, this program was challenging because it was difficult to get to know local Swiss people in such a short period of time (3.5 mo.). It wasn't until the program was almost over that I was able to begin forming true friendships with Swiss people in my village. Academically, this program only touched the surface of many..."
