Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I got to meet so many incredible people from around the world, some of who I still keep in contact with. Learning about Irish history, then going to those exact historic sites the next day was amazing. It is easily the highlight of my college time by a long shot."

"I learned so much about myself and the renewable energy field while abroad. 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
"I knew nothing about Middle Eastern culture except for the stereotypes Americans have towards Islamic culture. I wanted to change that. I want to dispel those stereotypes and gain a true understanding of the Middle East, and the best way to do so is by going there. My time in the SIT Geopolitics program was the perfect gateway t..."

"Key skills I took away from my study abroad experience were: how to budget, travel independently, and how to adjust to culture shock. Melbourne was a great place to study abroad because there was no language barrier in classes, yet I could always find new cultures to explore and discover. Melbourne has a lot diversity in cultur..."

"Since Alcala is a smaller town outside of Madrid, I got a more authentic experience since my peers and I were seemingly the only Americans in the town.

Jessica F University of Oregon
"My study abroad experience in Oviedo was absolutely worthwhile. It was a great place to study. There aren't very many people who speak English in the city, minus the students, so you will learn and practice your language every time you step out of your door. Many of the professors are good and are willing to help you if you have..."
