Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"Being abroad in Iceland was an incredible experience. I loved the traveling and outdoor components of this program. I have never seen anything like Iceland's landscape--it truly looks like a different world. We were often able to go on hikes or explore on our own, and I felt incredibly immersed in nature throughout the program. ..."

"My experience abroad taught me to look at the cultures I am a part of more critically. For the most part, life in Madagascar is vastly different from the U.S., and there are aspects of Malagasy culture I believe Americans could benefit from replicating. My experience has inspired me to consider and change my behaviors and values..."

"I learned a lot about the geopolitics of the region. I also learned a lot about Arab culture that I did not expect to learn. Lastly, I learned about myself, being constantly pushed out of my comfort zone was a great opportunity for growth."
Simon A Occidental College
"Not only did I gain knowledge of public health, indigenous medicine, and the Spanish language, but I gained new friends and connections that expand to places I had never thought before. The people I met alone make the experience worth it. "
Liam F Washington University in St. Louis
"Again, it's difficult to summarize just how much I gained and learned. I feel I left the program a different person and with a greater understanding of my academic interests. From the combined experience of excursions and the independent study period, I gained greater confidence to live and conduct research in foreign places. Ul..."

Mary K University of Massachusetts / UMass - Boston
"I learned a lot about Icelandic history and culture, but I also learned a lot about myself. It was definitely worthwhile because it gave me a fresh new perspective on the environmental challenges we are facing as a society. I also made some really good friends who I’m still in contact with!! "
Claire L University of Wisconsin - Madison
"I learned loads about decision making regarding energy development in Iceland and on new technologies for combating climate change, whether that means carbon capture or new methods of producing biofuels. I also learned a lot of Icelandic."
Gavin T Montana State University - Bozeman
"I really enjoyed my time abroad in with SIT. The program includes several opportunities to travel within Argentina. It really educated me on the Argentine healthcare system through an analytical and comparative lens."
Julia C Wellesley College
"Studying abroad was worthwhile because it gave me a different perspective on what I've been studying in the USA. While it didn't completely change my views, it showed me that I had many similar beliefs to those around me back home. However, abroad, I had to adjust to different cultures and perspectives on international matters. ..."
A student Brandeis University
"In addition to my language skills hugely improving, I learned about the patience, persistence, independence, and openness it takes to go to a fully new place alone and learn how to live there. I also gained a new perspective on sharing with people around you and was very inspired by the societal friendliness there. Though my exp..."

"I learned a lot about language, culture differences, and independence. It was an excellent and very worthwhile experience."
A student Wellesley College
"I was amazing to become close and make friends and family thousands of miles from home. In addition, my Spanish-speaking skills increased more than I had ever dreamed they would, and now I feel confident speaking Spanish in most settings."
Grace B University of Wisconsin - Madison
"My confidence in traveling abroad and in cities grew. I improved my conversational Spanish skills. I learned "
A student Mount Holyoke College
"I gained an immense amount of knowledge from he program. Despite being Mexican American and having been to my state of Jalisco, the culture in Oaxaca is like no other. We hear so much information about the border these days, but once you are there, standing looking at the wall in Arizona or the families crossing from Guatemala, ..."
Jessica G Gettysburg College
"I learned so much about public health both the institutional level but also the personal stories of people. It was beautiful to travel to different provinces, be welcomed into places and hear everyone we met. "
Natalia A Scripps College
"Yes. it was all experiential learning. We sadly had a horrible traveling prof. that made the classroom learning non existent. But it also bonded us as a group."
Eliot N Middlebury College
"I learned how to be more independent. I gained confidence in my own academic skills and became more confident in traveling independently and advocating for myself. So worthwhile. "
A student Connecticut College
"I learned how to be comfortable being uncomfortable- talking to random people wherever I went, constantly practicing a new language while learning it, and living differently than I do back home. "
Alex R Emory University
"This is an excellent program if you are passionate about public health topics and are looking to improve your Spanish. It is language intensive and can be intimidating at first, the academics are intense, especially if you are not confident with your Spanish skills, but the professors are patient and understanding and will accom..."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about social work and the structure of the healthcare system in Argentina."
Sophia C Bates College
"I can't emphasize enough how good this program was for me. It pushed me gently outside of my comfort zone and supported me the whole way through. I leaned into the support and opportunities provided -- which I had to choose to do! it wasn't all due to them -- and came back to the U.S. a more fully self-actualized person than I w..."
