The most amazing study abroad program
October 03, 2024by: Karam Burjas - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Jordan: Geopolitics, Intl. RelationsI participated in the Amman, Jordan IR program and it was the most amazing and transformative experience. The on-site staff’s coordination of the homestays, excursion trips, and our overall experience was incredibly professional and thoughtful. I felt very taken care of, safe, and comfortable during my time in Amman. I will never forget my time in Jordan and I will be back in the future!
