The most profound and career-changing experience during my college years!
by: Liubys Soler - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: India: Public Health, Gender, & SexualityWould highly recommend this program to anyone who truly wants to challenge their cross-cultural understanding and learn what it truly means to be a global citizen. This study abroad program truly immerses you in the culture in a unique way. I learned so much about myself, the host country and its politics. I got some insane opportunities like working with the Comprehensive Rural Health project in Jamkhed and visiting Tibetan refugees in Mcleod Ganj. Came out of the experience with a good underst...
I loved Nepal
by: Ellie Davis - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Nepal: Dev., Gender, and Social ChangeThis was one of the best experiences of my life - Nepal and Kathmandu has so much to offer. Having learned the language it was so fun to meet so many people in the city and have so many new experiences along side my new friends in my program. I would do anything to be able to do it again.
Amazing Indian Semester Abroad
by: Leyla Surmeli - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: India: Public Health, Gender, & SexualityI learned so much in this program! I was fully immersed in Indian culture with my homestay and incredible academic staff. I gained so much knowledge and expertise in public health in a local and global context. It was the most rewarding semester of college I’ve ever had! I’m so glad I got this experience and I would 100% recommend this program to others.

I decided to apply to an international program so that I could gain a perspective totally different from what I had grown up with. The world is so vast and has limitless opportunities so I knew that I needed to dip my toe into this pool of opportunity. Gettysburg College, along with different schools across the nation, offer the incredible opportunity to go beyond your personal borders and live in a place that most people only dream of going to.

I have always loved traveling. Once I saw that this program was an option for me, there was no way I could pass it up. I had never been overseas before, and this was a chance to study a topic I'm passionate about. I knew that this would be an amazing and life changing experience that would be a crime to let go to waste.

I was inspired to go abroad because I was seeking a life-changing experience that would somehow enlighten me with new career aspirations. Naively enough, I was fully expecting that at some point in my time abroad the lightbulb above my head would light up and tell me what my path should be in life. While this didn't necessarily happen, I was hopeful nonetheless.
