Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad
"I went into the program being most interested about one thing (urban planning) and left knowing that I have to do something completely different (community organizing and youth work). This experience helped me to understand what it was about Urban Studies that truly interested me--and it was the people side of the coin, not the ..."

"The program was often frustrating but the experience of living in Salvador was unique, enriching, beautiful and worthwhile. "
Phoebe S Wellesley College
"One thing only: after I studied abroad in Mexico I have come to one conclusion, I moving to Mexico after I graduate in May 2011!!!"
Daniela N Austin College
"My experience was worthwhile, and I became fluent in Portuguese during my time there. "
Priya N Tulane University
"Too much to explain, still looking for the words."
Lydia W Barnard College
"Why does this question even exist? It was incredibly hard, incredibly exhilarating, and incredibly worthwhile."
Julia H Trinity University
"Despite the difficulties of my host family, the disappointment with the academic rigor, and the cliquey-ness of the other students on the trip, I gained a lifetime friend, incredible access for my research, and a deep connection to Ireland. Definitely worthwhile."
Britt S Tufts University
"Australia is very similar to the United States. There is still materialism, consumerism, capitalist markets and so on. Their histories are very similar also, with the English exploring the land, chasing off or socially integrating the Indigenous, as well as changing the landscape. So by learning more about the way Australia came..."

"MY ABROAD EXPERIENCE WAS DEFINITELY WORTHWHILE AND I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT. MY EXPERIENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA TAUGHT ME TO BE MORE ACCEPTING AND OPEN-MINDED. SOUTH AFRICA ALSO MADE ME MORE INTERESTED IN POLITICS BOTH DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL. "
ASHLEY F Austin College
"It was definitely worthwhile. Not only did it give me a new lens with which to view my development studies, but I'm using the research I did for my ISP on traditional birthing to write a thesis on international health policy and the Safe Motherhood Initiative in Kenya. I had been to Kenya before, but I left after study abroad wi..."
Alexandra C Clark University
"This program was an amazing look into the world of international affairs. I certainly think the academic portion could be conducted in a better way, but these concerns do not overcome the positive aspects of my experience. I met amazing people, both students and professionals, and the research component is very unique among st..."

"yes it was. I learned alot, but to me personally, I would have wanted morem of a culture shock. The Swiss culture wasn't much different from American Culture. In that respect I would have wanted a different location, but apart from that, I had a good time. "
Preetha S Austin College
"My study abroad experience was worthwhile in ways that I cannot fully describe, probably ever. Choosing to study abroad in a developing country is a decision that is courageous, I think. Going somewhere that reveals your status as an upper-upper-class WORLD citizen (as opposed to your status as an American citizen) forces you to..."
Erinn B Wellesley College
"Completely worthwhile. You cannot beat going somewhere and learning from people who have had such different experiences than your own. I learned about forgiveness and thought about it in new ways and it really got me to thinking about other things. I think you just learn to open your eyes and see what is going on and not always ..."
Malena A Barnard College
"It was worthwhile. I wanted to do something completely different and be challenged on my abroad experience, and that is what I got. I gained a broader world perspective and greatly increased my appreciation for being born American."
Elizabeth P Tufts University
"I would do it again for sure. It was a way for me to really experience and see the things I want to do in my future. I enjoyed the research project, because I picked something I was really interested in and got to see so much health care and understand the system behind it. All of those moments whether it was walking down the st..."
Julia S Tufts University
"SIT does a great job of providing students with family interaction and educating the participants on historical and current issues relavant to Chile that in some ways apply to most of South America. The opportunity increased my interest in international development work, and the ISP played a large roll in my interests there. I..."
Michelle E Tufts University
"Definately. However, I would have liked some more academic interaction with people from my houst-country. One thing that really stands out in this program is the 2 week North/South excursion. I lived with a Mapuche (indian) family, experienced life on their farm, learned about their culture and was able to see a side of Chile..."
Julia L Rice University
"I improved my Arabic and built some lasting relationships with Jordanians and Americans. It was worthwhile. "
Alexander Z Tufts University
"Absolutely, this experience was worthwhile. I discovered a beautiful island, with beautiful, friendly people, and had the opportunity to travel a lot within the country (both with the SIT group and independently) and see how different it was from one end to the other. I realized (as did most students) that I was more confident..."
