Study Abroad with Sarah Lawrence College
"It was certainly worthwhile, in addition to learning a lot about Cuban culture, I learned so much about myself and what it means to be a foreigner in another land. I gained so much confidence and independence, which are both qualities I would say I had before as well, I definitely feel like a different person after coming back (..."
A student Barnard College
"I learned more about my personal identity as Cuban American woman and my inherent privileges and disadvantages in the global capitalist society."
A student Swarthmore College
"I gained a much more complex understanding of race and inequality than I did before I left."
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned that I am American, that there is an "Americanness" that I unconsciously exude, and that my material privileges do not always reflect a better quality of life. "
Christian R Pitzer College
"I gained a stronger comprehension for the French language and an appreciation for French culture. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I am glad I had."
Mary K Columbia University
"100% worthwhile. I learned how to be on my own, adjust to an environment without the safety of a college campus. I met wonderful Americans and French people and I fell in love with a city! It was wonderful!"
A student Reed College
"Everything. Knowledge about myself and my craft. Excitement about my future"
Aliza S Brandeis University
"It was definitely worth it. I gained a different attitude toward life, one that makes learning more enriching."
A student Reed College
"I gained an experience that I will have for the rest of my life."
A student University of Southern California
"I gained an appreciation for my life at SLC in New York after seeing how awful it could have been. I do not feel that the program was worthwhile for me."
Rebecca A Sarah Lawrence College
"I greatly improved my French speaking and writing skills, and I learned about cinema both through making a film and taking courses on Film theory. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned an infinite amount of new things while abroad, many things that I probably don't even notice on a day-to-day basis. I learned to be patient with myself and others and I finally got a chance to understand being a REAL outsider. I also gained a lot of self-confidence in standing up to people, as regular confrontation is ..."
Anna Q Sarah Lawrence College
"I was taught by some truly brilliant members of London's theater community and feel that my theatrical skill grew leaps and bounds. I also learned that having to fend for yourself in an environment that is often harsh is rough but a very necessary skill. I would definitely consider my time in London worthwhile"
A student Brandeis University
"Worthwhile, but there's a lot I would have done differently. Paris is definitely the best place to study in France, but I would have done it with a program other than Sarah Lawrence. Their courses and academic rigor were nothing compared to Wellesley's."
Simone T Wellesley College
"I learned how much I could work, how hard I could work, and how well I could balance work with play. It was absolutely worthwhile."
Ilana M Sarah Lawrence College
"I gained a certain confidence from living abroad and I feel like my French improved by leaps and bounds. I think it was important for me to live outside of my comfort zone for a semester. It was definitely worthwhile for me and I have an deep fondness for Paris."
A student Brandeis University
"I have been studying French for many years, so I was expecting to have a better grasp on French than I actually did. I learned the value of perfecting an accent. In addition, one of my goals was to see a lot of art. The way my classes were structured, especially with the half -hour tutorats, and having to use the library’s duri..."
A student Scripps College
"On the education side, I honestly believe that I learned more in my 13 weeks at BADA than I have in 3 years at college. The professors treat you like professional, adult actors, which helps you expand and hone your craft and work ethic. Also, seeing a minimum of 8 productions and being exposed to that much theatre was very eye-o..."
Katie P University of Southern California
"More valuable tools for my craft. I definitely became a more cultured human being. It was AMAZING. When I got on the plane to get back to the US I felt like it was all just a dream. It flew by too fast."
A student University of the Arts
"Despite all the flaws, this was absolutely a worthwhile experience that I would do again in a heartbeat. Cuba is an incredible place to grapple with your own assumptions and perspective, realizing how huge and how small the gaps between two "cultures" really are. It's not a glamorous experience, and sometimes I wondered if I wou..."
A student Georgetown University
"The classes and teachers gave me more confidence than I have ever had in my abilities as an actor due to the individual attention from teachers and the tight bonds formed with my classmates. I gained a background in many different classical British genres, as well as a great overview of British theatrical history and contempora..."
A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"It was definitely worthwhile. It's too much to sum up in a few words, but it's so important to just go an live some place different."
A student Sarah Lawrence College
"I learned more about theatre in the 4 months I was abroad than I had ever before. I made friends who I know I will have forever. I was exposed to a new culture and new theatre very different from that in the U.S."
A student Middlebury College
"This was one of the best experiences of my life. I gained so much confidence and skill due to the intensive classes and the teachers who genuinely cared about each student and pushed us to reach our potential. I fell in love with London and am so thankful I got to live there and experience the beautiful culture, history, and t..."
A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"Living in London was the best life experience I have ever had. That alone made this worthwhile."
