HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT
"When applying, SIT stood out because of its commitment to experiential learning. In this one semester, I felt I had learned more than in my entire academic career at college. Having the opportunity to critically engage with communities on the ground and actually see real-world applications makes concepts and ideas more powerful, instead of a traditional classroom experience."
