HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"Studying abroad with SIT in Peru was one of the best choices I’ve made in my life. I had the chance to learn more than I have in any other semester of my academic life, get to know a place that was totally unfamiliar to me before, and to make some of the best friends I’ve ever had. I could not speak more highly of the program staff or program design. You will be challenged, pushed far outside your comfort zone, and made to understand yourself as you relate to a globalized world in a totally new way. My interest in Latin American studies, globalization, and indigenous peoples and history have totally transformed."
