I made new memories with new additions to family and friends.
July 13, 2025by: Sandeep Tissaaratchy - Sri LankaProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Nepal: Dev., Gender, and Social ChangeThe SIT Nepal: Gender, Development and Social Change program is an experiential program, designed to immerse a student in the culture of Nepal, and give them access to important issues that local advocates, academics, and policy makers are grappling to address. We were given access to incredible staff, guest lecturers, and inspiring NGOS/ SDOS in Nepal that changed the game in terms of our perspectives on what we perceive development to be. The program's emphasis on cultural immersion is solidified because of our access to homestay families, which was one of the biggest highlights personally.
Best experience of my life!
July 12, 2025by: Poppy Livingstone - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Argentina: Social Mvmts. & Human RightsPassionate, committed students looking for an immersive and meaningful study abroad experience look no further! I can confidently say that this experience changed my life. From living in a homestay to traveling the entire country on field trips, from learning from leading professors in social movements, law, and history to completing an incredible internship, I can't think of a better way to deeply engage with this wonderful country. Plus, the local staff is so supportive – I truly felt at home here...so much so that I changed my summer plans to continue working at my SIT-assigned internship, and am planning to return next year!
An Unforgettable Adventure
July 11, 2025by: Rachel Newma - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Nepal: Tibetan and Himalayan PeoplesMy time in Nepal was the most important experience of my life thus far. While I was always pushing the limits of what I thought I was capable of, I was never disappointed in the end result. From close calls with monkeys and dogs throughout the city to trekking through the Himalayas to learning a new language, I have never grown so much in my life as I did during those three and a half months in Nepal. My capacity for change drastically expanded and my appreciation for other cultures and their belief systems increased tenfold.

I decided to apply to an international program so that I could gain a perspective totally different from what I had grown up with. The world is so vast and has limitless opportunities so I knew that I needed to dip my toe into this pool of opportunity. Gettysburg College, along with different schools across the nation, offer the incredible opportunity to go beyond your personal borders and live in a place that most people only dream of going to.

I have always loved traveling. Once I saw that this program was an option for me, there was no way I could pass it up. I had never been overseas before, and this was a chance to study a topic I'm passionate about. I knew that this would be an amazing and life changing experience that would be a crime to let go to waste.

I was inspired to go abroad because I was seeking a life-changing experience that would somehow enlighten me with new career aspirations. Naively enough, I was fully expecting that at some point in my time abroad the lightbulb above my head would light up and tell me what my path should be in life. While this didn't necessarily happen, I was hopeful nonetheless.
