Wonderful time abroad!
March 20, 2026by: Cassia Ramsey - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Madagascar: Biodiversity & Ntrl. Resource
This program is great! The program directors and all the staff are incredible, very kind, helpful, and communicative. I learned a lot, both in and out of the classroom. The internship/ISP portion was also very valuable and fun. I highly recommend this program, it was amazing.
Like living in a Nat Geo documentary
March 20, 2026by: Mikayla Liles - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Madagascar: Biodiversity & Ntrl. Resource
The program staff were wonderful. The educational content and professors were wonderful, world renowned scientists were often invited to speak in lectures. Language and cultural immersion were a big part of our experience and one of the best parts. I've made life long friends in Mada that I still talk with regularly. Field work was immersive and there was the chance to extend our stay in Mada pursuing science (a few of us stayed 6 months). Science wasn't my major (my BA is in French), and this program inspired me to pursue environmental conservation as a masters. I honestly have nothing but good things to say about the program. You won't regret going it's worth every penny. Feel free to whatsapp me if you have any questions @L.mikayla
Madagascar changed my life
March 20, 2026by: Ryan Thompson - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Madagascar: Biodiversity & Ntrl. Resource
If you are thinking about enrolling- DO IT! The hands on experience with Madagascar's rich biodiversity gave meaning to my biology degree. I now have expertise in field sampling methods, which has opened doors to new opportunities for me. The professors are amazing, wonderful people who will go out of their way to guide students to success. Staff worked day and night to keep us safe, enriched, and engaged in an otherwise unfamiliar country. After I’ve been to the jungle, I don’t want to go back to the way my life was before. There is so much more to life than living a typical 9-5. Get out there. Do research. And go to Madagascar.

I honestly don't know where the idea of me studying abroad stemmed from. No one in my family had done it before me, so I had no examples to follow. But, once I declared my Global Studies major, I was required to study abroad, which ultimately led to my decision to study abroad for two semesters!

Since I was in third grade, there was nothing I wanted more than to just go abroad. My favorite toy was a globe and I would spend hours dreaming of where I would go some day. During my freshman year, I went to visit my university's study abroad office and been the process of deciding where I would spend a semester or year of my life. After jumping from Finland to Jordan to Colombia to Mexico, I finally settled on Bolivia and sealed the deal.
