Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile."
Katie D Carleton College
"Studying abroad with SIT in Ecuador was the best thing I could have ever done at this time in my life. It has taught me that anything is possible and has inspired me to fight for what I believe in. "
Lucille S The University of Texas at Austin
"I had an amazing experience with study abroad, the highlight of which was my homestay family. In retrospect, I would not have chosen a program where I studied and traveled with a bunch of American students (this ultimately felt limiting) and instead would have opted for a program at a Swiss university. This was not true for ever..."
Ann S Western Washington University
"Even though I was bothered by many aspects of the program, I ultimately learned a lot from it academically and personally. I already had international exposure and had traveled extensively, but living in Brazil made the experience entirely different. I am more aware now of justice and political issues that I didn't pay attention..."
Claire d Wellesley College
"Absolutely!"
Rebecca G Carleton College
"An adventurous student who is willing to see an unfamiliar world and learn for it. "
Theodore R Carleton College
"It was absolutely worthwhile! I think study abroad always has challenging aspects, but I had a lot of fun and learned a lot and was thrilled to be in the middle of the international action!"
Maryn J Pacific Lutheran University
"Yes! I can't believe I ever questioned not going. I have quite the travel bug now and I'm making plans for this summer already...:)"
Audrey N Trinity University
"It was amazing overall. There were some bumps and the Spanish program was seriously lacking, but if you take initiative and are interested in the program's focus areas you'll do great. "
Krista D Wellesley College
"Absolutely worthwhile. I'm presently continuing the research that I began during my time in Chile-- namely, how poor diets and insufficient levels of physical activity are making the children of today likely to have shorter, lower quality lives than their parents. I'm also now able to apply my Spanish during research-related a..."
Sheila C Trinity University
"Yes. I learned a lot about myself and surprised myself with my own strengths. I learned so much from the lectures and research period too. "
Caitlin L Austin College
"The experience, especially my independent study gave me new direction to pursue a field in health care. Living in an apartment and in hostels has given me the confidence to live abroad in a Spanish speaking country. One of the things that I took away from it academically was the need to question my Western lens continually. "
Isabel H Tufts University
"YES!"
Audrey G The College of William and Mary
"a big emphatic yes."
Anne C B Barnard College
"The program was amazing. I am hoping to go back to one of the communities we visited for my comps research."
Alex K Carleton College
"yes. "
Elena L Carleton College
"I have learned so much in respect to culture food, environment and politics. It makes me realize America needs a lot of work. It made me realize I NEED to work abroad and I hope I will- there are so many opportunities to do so, all you have to do is apply! I really want to work for international organizations that are creating c..."
Vanessa C Austin College
"It was worthwhile because I had the chance to visit my great grandmother's grave. That however, is an entirely personal reason. I don't regret coming. However, I would have chosen a different program. I was not as all satisfied with the organization and academics that were offered."
Nicole S University of Hartford
"While my future plans and academic interests didn't change much as a result of my experience, I now have a better understanding of a culture very different from my own, and a great appreciation for and interest in Latin American cultures as a whole, especially indigenous cultures. The best part, though, is that even though I've ..."
Kaitlin N Birmingham-Southern College
"Absolutely it was. "
Laura F Trinity University
"It's a great program, very intense experience studying one topic so in-depth. We had a lot of fun along the way too. You are not supposed to leave Ireland/Northern Ireland during the study abroad program, so this is more of a deep experience in one country than a backpacking across all of Europe experience. We also spent quit..."
Caitlin D Washington University in Saint Louis
"I gained an unimaginable amount of independence and self-reliance."
Claudia H The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to interactive research, travel independently, force myself to speak a foreign language, adapt to a new culture, travel on a very small budget, meet strangers, establish contacts, etc. "
Mayela C The University of Texas at Austin
"I went into the program being most interested about one thing (urban planning) and left knowing that I have to do something completely different (community organizing and youth work). This experience helped me to understand what it was about Urban Studies that truly interested me--and it was the people side of the coin, not the ..."
Angella K Hamline University
"The program was often frustrating but the experience of living in Salvador was unique, enriching, beautiful and worthwhile. "
Phoebe S Wellesley College
