Study Abroad with SIT Study Abroad

Grace H Allegheny College

Caroline L Oberlin College
"I gained a deeper understanding of what the concept of human rights entail and how important perspectives from other cultures are to understand it. It was 100% worthwhile and has changed the way I view everything I studied before it and everything I will study now. Could not be more glad that I chose this program. "
A student Wellesley College
"I honestly learned so much that it is not feasible to put into words. I learned about imbedded internationally imposed structures of inequality, community, privilege, and so much more. It was 100% worthwhile."

Lucy D Middlebury College
"Learned to say yes to more experiences and to not take things too seriously. "
A student Middlebury College
"On top of this being an experience of a lifetime, I learned so much about myself, and my field of study. The program allowed for a lot of independence, and for individuals to get out of it what they put in. Academically, I feel like I learned more that in any semester of college up until this point. "

Elizabeth B Brandeis University
"I gained a lot of confidence and self assurance. So so worth it."
Alessandra F Brandeis University

Cici C Bates College
"This program was very different from a regular university experience. We were encouraged to treat the city of Geneva and other cities in Europe as our classrooms.
