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.
One of the best choices I've ever made for myself!
by: Barrett Massand - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: India: Public Health, Gender, & SexualityI'm so glad I went on this program! I loved being able to see so many areas of the country, practice my Hindi language skills, and get to know my peers, instructors, and co-workers during my 1-month internship. As a queer person of Indian heritage myself, having the opportunity to intern at a queer community-based organization was particularly affirming and educational.
