Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"I gained a sense of what works for me in terms of routine and how I want to live my life moving forward. It gave me a solid sense of what I would like to do as a career, which was invaluable. I also grew tremendously as both a scholar and overall person. "

The people who were in my program truly made my time abroad incredible and showed me the power of sharing a new experience with a group of people. Not only have I gained professional connections and experience, but I have gained a bunch of new friends sp..."
Miranda M University of Oregon
"This experience was 110% worth it to me. It was really interesting to be in a group of people all passionate about learning the same thing, and the program also encouraged us to explore our own related interests through the research project, meaning I got to expand what I learned about even beyond the curriculum of the program. ..."

"I wanted learning to be fun again, and this program did just that. Moreover, I study environmental engineering; as such, I am used to examining similar issues we learned about but from a completely different angle. I was glad to gain an understanding of the biological/conservation side of environmental issues. I was able to lear..."
A student Johns Hopkins University

A student Vanderbilt University
"I found a newfound respect for people who live differently from me and a drive to learn more about the regional history and current political situation, which affect the people that I met on a daily basis. I also believe that my internship was not only educational, but the most impactful experience that I have (or may ever have)..."
Emma W Southern Methodist University
"It was worthwhile because I learned a lot about what I want and don't want out of the place I love, the place I work, and the people I am around."
A student Brandeis University
"It was absolutely worthwhile. The excursions were 100% the best part of the entire program-- meeting with the Bagyeli, traveling and living in Batoufam, and spending a week in Paris. This is a program I would 100% recommend, but only for students that have a very good idea of what they are getting into. "

"I think living in a new country for a period of time is without a doubt a worthwhile experience as it forces you out of your comfort zone and forces you to interact and meet new people and new lifestyles. For me this is so important as you gain a bigger understanding into the diversity that exists in the world, which is somethin..."

Elizabeth S Washington University in St. Louis
"Aside from the obvious topics that I learned which was the focus of this program, one immediate gain that I can name was the ability to travel on my own. I had done some light travel on my own before but nothing to the extent of this program. During the program, you are required to be on your own for a month and study a topic of..."

"I had the most magical time in Cameroon and truly was able to immerse myself in so much of the country through SIT: Cameroon. In this program, we were not only able to experience the capital, Yaoundé, but also Kribi and Batoufam. I ended up returning to Batoufam for my internship, where I worked as a museum tour guide. Additiona..."
Rozey H Wellesley College
"I think the main thing that I gained from my experience was confidence. It is scary to go somewhere new, with a language you don't fully understand, a new culture, and live with a host family that you know nothing about before arriving. BUT after doing all those things and having a good time it makes me a lot more confident in w..."
