Overall Experience
Not only did I come out of the program with a research project that is now turned into a 150-page honors thesis for my undergrad, I also made life-long friends, and established academic mentorship that I know will help me through my academic and professional career. - Kenyon College View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with SIT Study Abroad: Ghana: Africa in the 21st Century
Ghana's hospitality is unmatched and this made all the difference in my experience. People were really kind and they truly cared about my well-being. I am going to take this type of hospitality and incorporate it into my own life. This is a life lesson that will stay with me for the rest of my life. - St. Edward's University View Entire Review
Among many other things, I believe that my ability to understand others has grown significantly. The many well-rounded experiences have prepared me to work in diverse environments as well as with a diverse group of people. - Colgate University View Entire Review
