One of the best experiences of my life Past Review
By Rachel (Washington University in St. Louis) - abroad from 01/05/2019 to 05/24/2019 with
SIT Study Abroad: Nepal - Tibetan and Himalayan Peoples
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I greatly enjoyed my experience with SIT Nepal. It is hard to summarize an experience that proved so humbling, beautiful, and warm in a few words. I would highly suggest this program to anyone who is looking to challenge themselves, has a good degree of humility, and is easygoing. The staff of SIT NPT are exceptionally kind, thorough, and pour the heart into crafting a program that is both intellectually stimulating and personally engaging. I enjoyed our trips and conversations, meals and ruminations together immensely.
