SFS Cambodia: Environmental Justice and Mekong Ecologies

Discover the diverse ecosystems of Cambodia—from the massive Tonle Sap Lake and ancient Angkor temples to the forests of the Mondulkiri highlands. Learn about efforts to fight climate change and preserve biodiversity and rural livelihoods. Take an extended expedition across the country, spending time in an elephant sanctuary in Mondulkiri and conservation sites along the Mekong River, then head to a riverine archipelago in southern Laos. SFS students will live and study at the Center for Conservation and Development Studies, our most urban center on the outskirts of Siem Reap, near the famed temples of Angkor. The center is a breezy, modern campus nestled in a quiet neighborhood just minutes away from the bustling downtown area, where you will find restaurants, shops, and markets with unique Cambodian flair.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Siem Reap

What you need to know to study in Siem Reap

Even if you have read textbooks or watched documentaries about Cambodia, there is nothing like having first hand experiences here. Though the genocide of the 1970s is still scarring the nation, the peace you feel upon entering is undeniable. Khmer Rouge or not, this country is making strides to enter the 21st century on a brighter note — an interesting and complex transition for you to unpack as a study abroad student in Cambodia. Today, you can witness how it has affected the population and how the people strive to make their country a happier place.

But we digress! Here’s what you need to know before you study abroad in Cambodia.

Popular subjects to study. Many students opt to focus their studies on Buddhism and social entrepreneurship while studying in Cambodia. If you're a tree hugger, you'll also find tons of environmental studies programs here in Cambodia. Every program, no matter what your course load, will enjoy healthy doses of cultural engagement and steaming plates of amok.

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. Summertime is a popular option for busy students to pursue study abroad in Cambodia. Short term programs, like faculty-led programs that run for a few weeks or less, are also a good fit for students studying specific subjects in-depth or those that can't part from home for too long. On the flipside, long term programs have a slew of benefits. Though admittedly harder, they will give you plenty of time to get to know the Cambodian culture and overdose on mango shakes. If you want to learn Khmer or dive deep into Buddhism, consider semester or year long programs.

Attending universities vs. other programs. It is more common to connect through a program rather than attend a university directly while studying abroad in Siem Reap. You could find programs for study abroad at the University of South East Asia or Angkor University, most foreign students choose to attend programs run by their universities or by other organizations.

My time is Southeast Asia was something I will never forget. I got to build incredibly friendships with people and experience a lot of firsts. We went zip lining , snorkeling, to the beach and we volunteered with amazing foundations. We learned Thai and experienced what it was like to live with a host family. Overall this trip has taught me a lot about myself and I would recommend that everyone study abroad.
