Culture Study Abroad Programs in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Coming into this program, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. However, it very quickly became one of the most fun and immersive experiences of my life. The people you meet and the places you visit are truly one of a kind. There is simply so much to experience and enjoy, from field trips to Mui Ne and Dalat, to extensive food exploration--no matter when or where. You will love your host family, and they will love you--as long as you eat all their food, and gain the required 20 kilos by the end of the program. Food aside, you will be learning so much about Vietnamese culture and language through a variety of in class-and out of class activities. There is no shortage of immersion on this program, and the amazing staff and faculty of SIT will guide you through your journey each step of the way. This is truly a special program, and an opportunity to definitely be capitalized on. Also, shoutout to my buddy and soccer star Jun Reiss: thanks for all the memories!!

I just studied abroad with SAS in spring of 2025. To say this experience changed my life would be an understatement. I cannot recommend this enough. The learning opportunities are amazing, the staff and faculty do everything they can to make this your home away from home, and the traveling experiences are ONCE IN A LIFETIME!
