SIT Study Abroad: Argentina: Social Mvmts. & Human Rights

The program directors, host families, and every person we met made this experience incredible. I learned so much and felt very supported at every step. I feel like I have a leg up in life having done this program.

The experience of field-based learning and cultural immersion has left a remarkable impact on me that I will undoubtedly never forget. As a Black and queer student, I have developed so much as a person, as a student, a creative, a friend, a community member, etc. I have learned more about myself through exposure to things both familiar and unfamiliar. I am more confident sure of who I am because of this program. Additionally I've developed knowledge of human rights histories and current issues and fostered the skills to articulate effective action items accordingly.

No words can ever fully express my love and gratitude for this program and what it has provided me. The cultural experience alone was nothing like I ever could have imagined. I was matched with the best host family and everything else fell into place. The people I met, and the memories I made are priceless. I was able to conduct research that helped me learn so much about the community at hand but also myself as a student and person. I would chose this program again in a heartbeat and am forever grateful for the friends and memories I can hold in my heart forever.
