SIT Study Abroad

I loved SIT: Social Movements and Human Rights in Argentina. They are wonderful at matching students with host families and great at building a community within the study abroad program. The trips to Salta, Jujuy, Rosario, and Patagonia were a wonderful way to see the mountains and other parts of Argentina while still spending the majority of the time in a big city. I highly recommend studying abroad in Buenos Aires!

My favorite part of the program academically was the ISP--I was able to study a topic I was passionate about, and spoke with a number of high-level professionals in the field regarding my topic. I also really loved my homestay family, living in a small, idyllic town, yet being so close to bigger cities. It was so freeing being able to hop on a train and travel anywhere in Switzerland, there was never a dull moment, and every day was filled with a new hike, destination, or activity!

I had a really valuable experience studying abroad in Portugal. The program staff and people in the program are so supportive, warm, and welcoming. I learned so much from the classes, experiential learning, and from moving to a new place in general. The program allows students to see the country in a unique way by introducing us to Portuguese academics and people in the field, and through the research opportunity, allows students to take learning into their own hands. The experience allowed me to build crucial life skills and gain perspective, in turn enhancing my passion for what I study. It was an amazing semester, and I couldn't recommend it more!
