Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I think living in a new country for a period of time is without a doubt a worthwhile experience as it forces you out of your comfort zone and forces you to interact and meet new people and new lifestyles. For me this is so important as you gain a bigger understanding into the diversity that exists in the world, which is somethin..."
Emily S Gettysburg College
"I learned a lot about myself and the things that I can do on my own. It was definitely worth while! "
Loren K Gettysburg College
"I loved this program! I learned a lot about the culture and society of Argentina but I also learned a lot about myself such as how I learn, what I want do with my future, etc. I studied abroad in Spain and by far had a more powerful experience on this program in Argentina."
Elizabeth B Gettysburg College
"This program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I learned so much about Coastal Ecology and Natural Resource Management and about the local culture. I also grew as a person. The SIT Staff pushed me to do things outside of my comfort zone, which allowed me to produce an ISP project that I would not have thought possi..."

"My Spanish-speaking ability was greatly enhanced, and I gained a lot more cultural knowledge from the experience. It was 100% worthwhile."
Elizabeth Gettysburg College
"Absolutely. I have always had an international mindset but fully immersing yourself for 4 months is a once in a lifetime experience and allowed me to gain even more worldly knowledge."
Kelli Rubin Gettysburg College
"The people of Athens are pretty special and resilient in my eyes. I learned a lot about the history of Athens and all the struggles the people there have faced throughout the years and continue to face with the current state of their economy. They continue to be brave and continue to smile and enjoy life even with such harsh con..."
Chardae Walker Gettysburg College
"Cultural knowledge that has changed my view on the world. TOtally worthwhile"
A student Gettysburg College
"My semester abroad has been truly amazing! Living in a such a historical city as Athens, I had unique opportunities to have onsite lectures, such as at the Acropolis, or National Archeological Museum. I have been able to see in person, so much of what I had only previously learned in textbooks. And my professors have had so much..."

"I gained a self-confidence that I didn't know I had. I now know that I can depend on myself!"
Sarah Tokar Gettysburg College
"I learned not only about the complexity of natural resource management, especially in a country with such a rural/urban divide, but I also learned (through experiences and observation) about a different culture that challenged and changed my previous world outlook. "
Brittany Bondi Gettysburg College
"I think I gained so much knowledge and fluency by studying in Nantes and I would 100% repeat the same experience! "
A student Gettysburg College
"It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! Finding my way through a country where I didn't speak the language and where I had to rely on wifi to use the internet, I became very proficient at operating and adjusting while I had no idea what was going on. We never really know where life is going to take us, so I'd say ..."
Thea Toocheck Gettysburg College
"I learned a lot in the classroom, and enjoyed my classes a lot. The cultural experience was the best part, and the thing I learned and grew the most from. It led to interesting friendships that I will carry with me when I leave, and many off-campus experiences helped further my understanding of concepts, ideas, and histories I w..."

"Apart from regular academics, I learned how to view my own culture from a perspective different than my own. "
Carolyn Hauk Gettysburg College
"Being abroad gave me a new sense and love of independence. The fear of putting yourself out there is totally worth the benefits of operating around a city and a program on your own."
Kayla Gettysburg College
"It definitely gave me a form of independence that I hadn't had. It also gave me a new perspective on other culture and so much travel experience. There is no doubt in my mind that it was worthwhile for me!"
A student Gettysburg College
"I grew infinitely more confident in my abilities as a person from the obstacles and challenges of this program. The program gives students freedom and choice that requires one to really step up and make their own choices. It means that this program is what you make of it in the best way possible. "
Rose Z Gettysburg College
"CYA is an excellent program. I came into it expecting to learn certain things about myself, and it wasn't until I left that I realized that I had gained even more than that. The academics here are great, especially for an aspiring classicist or historian. The city is filled with so much to do at a generally affordable rate- with..."
Simon K Gettysburg College
"I felt like I learned more about myself in the 3 months I was in Panama than in the 3 years before. This program gave me a chance to push myself, try new things, and work on things I love. "

A student Gettysburg College
"Learned a good amount of living on my own in a city and traveling. Truly grew as a person"
A student Gettysburg College
"A sense of independence that I really had not had even after going away to college. You are in a foreign country where the majority of people do not speak your language. It was extremely worthwhile and a great experience I will never forget"
Jacob V Gettysburg College
"Studying abroad in Jordan was by far the best time of my life! I learned more about the Jordanian healthcare system than I think I know about the US Healthcare system. By far, the best part of this program are the various field visits you attend, ranging from public hospitals and refugee health clinics to the Ministry of Health ..."

"From the moment I first stepped foot on Spanish soil, I swore to never be afraid to try new experiences, and to not let any opportunity escape my grasp. And by studying abroad through the IES Salamanca Program, I found such an amazing array of opportunities to get involved not only by taking stimulating courses on the Franco Reg..."
