Exactly the program I was looking for
by: Farren Groom - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Panama: Tropical Ecology, Marine EcosystemI found SIT Panama to be exactly what I was looking for in a study abroad program. The excursions let us see a wide array of biomes across the country and introduced us to tons of wonderful people. SIT Panama is heavily experience-based in the teaching style, which worked great for me, and I'll never forget my time wading through streams looking for frogs at night or spending days snorkeling in the reefs of Guna Yala. The student culture in my cohort was always quite positive which made for a gr...
Best experience of my life!!
by: Kaylin Bell - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Argentina: Public Health in Urban Enviro.I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to study abroad in Argentina with this program. Through this program I was able to learn more about the health care system in Argentina from various professionals in class and then travel to different regions in Argentina to learn directly from various communities. Along with academics, I had the opportunity to visit the mountains in Mendoza and Iguazu Falls in Misiones! During the last month I completed an internship with a neonatologist. My host mom ...
Great study abroad program for an independent student wanting to improve Spanish
by: Tamsin Connerly - United StatesProgram: SIT Study Abroad: Chile: Cultural Identity, Social JusticeThis program was very well-run. The faculty at the program site were amazing, kind, and caring. Almost all of the home stays were great fits for the students, and when anyone had a problem they could easily be moved. The best part of the program is the internship/independent study period. My internship was fantastic and important for making most of my Chilean friends.

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.
