This Program Changed My Life

Thank you, SIT India, for helping me learn and grow during my semester abroad! From the moment I arrived in Delhi, I felt supported and loved by the entire staff. They helped us navigate this new country seamlessly and introduced us to all of India's wonders. I enjoyed shopping for new kurtas and jewelry, learning Hindi, trekking in the Himalayas, tasting delicious meals, living with a wonderful host family, strolling on the beaches in Goa, visiting the Taj Mahal, volunteering at a rural health organization in Maharashtra, exploring Ellora Caves, and conducting independent research on a topic I’m passionate about. I will never forget my experience in India or the beautiful people I met and the amazing places I was fortunate enough to see.

I'm grateful to my professors for supporting my academic journey by providing excellent, constructive feedback at every step. I came to this program as a passionate gender studies and pre-nursing student, and I left even more excited than I was before! I loved all of our health center visits, as well as the unique shadowing and volunteering opportunities I had at an organization in rural Maharashtra during the final month of the program. This program is a great way to explore the field of healthcare and learn more about yourself.
