Latest Program Reviews

I had such a unique experience studying abroad with SIT. Argentina is an awesome place and the program takes you all around the country to make sure you see it. There was time for trips separate from the program too which were memorable. The experience was more academic than I was expecting but still was not too much work. The professors/directors are very accommodating. The people who choose to do this program are such characters. You won't regret it.
