I d like to add my voice to the previous reviewer s negative/mixed review specifically about the SIT Cameroon site. My experience with that program was frequently alarming, disempowering, and sometimes frightening. There was a huge lack of support for students as we navigated all kinds of issues like sexual harassment, really tricky situations within host families, and serious illness. I have traveled quite a bit as an adult and have never felt so unsafe as I did at SIT Cameroon. That said, the country and the experience of getting to go there as an undergrad are amazing, and I totally stand by SIT s model of small groups, host families, and independent study projects. I hope SIT continues to operate study abroad programs in countries in which few others do, but that they recommit themselves to a much higher standard of safety and support for the students in their care.
