Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I've been abroad a few times before this experience, so I couldn't help but compare and contrast my experiences with each other. However, this semester was overall great and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a semester in a city that's not traditionally chosen by US college kids! "
A student Colorado College
"This experience was very worthwhile. While some aspects (especially the ISP) were challenging, I learned so much, and made great friends along the way. The SIT community in-country was very supportive and they made the experience one that I would never regret. "
Reeve S Colorado College
"This is a great program to meet new people, learn a lot, and tour a lot of cities in a short amount of time. I visited Morocco last summer for three weeks and it was enough for me to familiarize myself with the culture as well as improve my French level. Lankey program has the perfect mix of structure and freedom with the classe..."
Earl Colorado College
"I learned to situate myself and my experiences and considered new perspectives in sustainable management. "
Koki Colorado College
"It was a great experience! I'm so glad I went to Thailand with a study abroad program so I could learn about the country more in-depth, and this program was a great way to do it. I loved being able to stay in the dorms, and the class was really interesting. The timing worked out great with my schedule so I was able to do other t..."

"ISDSI was the most incredible experience, and really pushed me outside of my comfort zone. The semester was like nothing I have experienced before, and I value it above most things in college for the eye-opening opportunities it provided me. The home stays were incredible, the food is amazing, and the connections I made there wi..."
Caleigh Smith Colorado College
"I gained a love for Granada, a lifelong friendship with my host mom, and huge improvement in my Spanish. It was 110% worthwhile and I would go again in a heartbeat. "
Lindsey A. Colorado College
"The ease of the courses allowed me to study subjects that interested me. Living in a beautiful country, such as Chile, allowed me to write more. Due to the lack of resources, such as English books or a completely different public transport system, I learned how to be self-sufficient, fluid, and relaxed as a 'gringo' backpacker. ..."

"The Galapagos is one of the most unique places ever!!! Definitely visit!!"
Naomi Tsai Colorado College
"I gained an entire undergraduate thesis topic/project! As well as local friends with whom I've started to feel like part of a community and can see and get to know better when I return. It was so worthwhile!!"
Celia O'Brien Colorado College
"This experience was beyond worthwhile. It sounds cheesy and cliche, but in hindsight, this semester was life-changing. I learned to better adapt to obstacles and frustrations, I learned how to feel comfortable asking seemingly-stupid questions, I learned to communicate with very little verbal language, and I learned that I'm cap..."
Kaitlyn Hickmann Colorado College
"I got real research experience and a change to feel like I was really living in a Dutch town"
Toren Andrewson Colorado College
"I really got a feel for how people live in other parts of the world and what the Fijian culture is really like. This trip was absolutely worth my while and I am so incredibly thankful that I got to go on it."
Melanie Mandell Colorado College
"I learned so much. I matured in innumerable ways. My Spanish skills skyrocketed, I became more independent, I am now comfortable in foreign countries and in uncomfortable situations. I think every person should study abroad if they have the chance."
Margaret Colorado College
"It was definitely worthwhile --I became more independent, flexible, and open-minded. I learned to embrace the Granadino philosophy of "no pasa nada.""
A student Colorado College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned so much about myself and Australia that I will always take with me. I would go back in a heartbeat."
A student Colorado College
"My four months in Granada were some of the best months of my life and not for all the reasons you would expect. Of course Granada made it rather easy for me to become part of a new culture, not merely understand it, learn a new language, not solely speak it but love it, make new friends but also keep the bonds that bound. I love..."
A student Colorado College
"I gained practical knowledge and skills relating to marine spatial planning, scientific research, connected with incredible leaders in oceanography and marine policy, and made some of the greatest friends I have every made. "
Hannah F Colorado College
"Yes, it was life changing. I feel more like an adult and I feel more comfortable with who I am. I learned tons about flamenco and this experience has influenced my life greatly for the better."
justice.miles.3 Colorado College
"I learned to be a planner as well as spontaneous, which sound contradictory. I learned how to plan trips and plan my time so that I was being efficient and doing all that I wanted to do. But if something came up that seemed better or if my friends decided to go to Sweden the next day I learned to do it and go with it. That was..."
Ainsley L Colorado College
"In August 2014, I left the comfort of my home in the Rocky Mountains to embrace a new culture, language and people. Travel, communication and cultural adaptation presented an array of challenges in Salamanca, Spain. My independence blossomed as I faced the adversity and obstacles of moving to a foreign country largely on my own...."
A student Colorado College
"leadership skills, how to work with differences and adversity, how to cope with uncomfortable/hard situations, how to laugh at mistakes and roll with the ambiguous, how I perform when emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted, how to respect and learn from another culture. 100% worthwhile"
A student Colorado College
"It was unbelievable. This program reshaped the direction of my life and put me on the right track."
tess g Colorado College
"Seeing how differently people live was perhaps the most valuable component of my experience."
Thomas W Colorado College
"SEA semester and sail training are not only about learning about the ocean and how to sail, but also about learning from that experience. On the surface, students return from SEA semester as better sailors, scientists, and historians, but the gains are so much more than that. After SEA Semester I returned to Colorado College a m..."
