"With SIT, you learn a lot inside and outside of the class. All of the lessons are very interactive. For example, when learning about the economy we visited various mines, talked to miners, as well as high level mining engineers. "
Lisa D The University of Texas at Austin
"Living in Milan made me see the differences between Italy as a whole but it has also allowed me to be a more independent person. In the future I would love to move back to this vibrant city."
Monica Q The University of Texas at Austin
"This year abroad was everything and more than I ever wanted out of a study abroad experience. Although my academic experience was off to a rough start, after changing for the second semester, that was completely fixed, and I was very happy with my change. I grew exponentially as a young woman, and this year shaped me into a mo..."
Lisa G The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned about myself, my place in a natural and cultural context, and I learned what I want to do with the rest of my life. This is an inspiring program and it changes people's lives."
Celeste A The University of Texas at Austin
"I definitely think that we have much to learn from people abroad in terms of the way they live. Japanese people are very welcoming to Americans, and are definitely curious about our lifestyle. If the occasion calls for it, I would love to return to Japan, whether to visit friends/family, or to work."
Anthony F The University of Texas at Austin

"I now look at my own country differently. I improved Chinese greatly and gained a lot of motivation to continue. I made some very good friends. Future plans are still uncertain, but I am now considering using Chinese in whatever I do in the future."
John B The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience abroad has opened my mind to new people, languages, and daily challenges of communication. I have learned about different customs, to adapt, to be more independent, and to react outside of my comfort zone. I have grown as a person, and from my first time abroad I have gained confidence to do this a few more times. ..."
Jacqueline M The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned many things with AIFS Rome. I learned that to really know about someone you have to give them the chance to show you their life and culture. You must live as they do in order to understand their views on life. By immersing yourself in the culutre of a country is how your knowledge of things grows, when you get out of h..."

"It was great. Best time of my life. "
Danny W The University of Texas at Austin
"Marchutz changed my life. I've always liked art, but never had the opportunity to pursue it. Now I have the courage and confidence to be an artist. This study abroad experience will expose your weaknesses and your strengths. I learned to make decisions for myself. I learned how to be responsible and how to take it easy. I realiz..."

"YES. I loved it!!! I discovered what I want to study in grad school/do for the rest of my life, I am planning on going back to NZ for a postdoc or a permanent job. Learning Maori was eye-opening, the culture is so different and there are many concepts you cannot understand except in Maori."
Sarah G The University of Texas at Austin
"I benefitted much from being on my own, having to handle situations I have never been in before, and getting to know students who live a very different life."
Caroline H The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I've met people that I now consider my best friends. I've traveled all over Europe and ventured into Africa. I've pursued academic and personal dreams. Ask yourself when you will ever have an opportunity again in your life to spend the better part of a year away from your work, school, and family. Don't waste that oppo..."
