Along with that, as a student who studies Art History I was happy to take all the chances at the provided field trips, which SACI provided a lot."

Zeina Maryland Institute College of Art
"I loved studying abroad in Florence. I gained a lot of confidence when I was in Italy because I constantly had to put myself out there in order to learn or interact with other people. I was able to meet many local Italians and I definitely benefited from experiencing the Italian mentality toward life. Italians, at least to me, c..."

Leah G Maryland Institute College of Art
"Study abroad was definitely worthwhile experience for me. The whole experience I went through not only with the school but also with diversity of international people really brought me change in life and future plans. Be honest, I learned a lot more from traveling and going through new cultural events and people than taking art ..."

"Living in Scandinavia definitely has given me insight and a better understanding of a completely different political system and manner of living than the US. Scandinavians are also very sensitive to weather and their architecture and design reflects this reaction to environmentalism. The AD program itself has helped me re-affir..."

"Ugh so many questions look at my other responses for an answer to this. But while I am at it... It would be very easy to look at the wording of some of my responses and think "Oh there's a kid who went and hang with friends, partied and danced his way through the semester in Ireland" Well for someone who had never been to part..."

"I am so glad I went and it was an experience I will never forget!! I would like to return without the safety net of the group from my homeschool. I had to challenge myself in many ways to have the experience I had hoped for, and I feel like many students don't push themselves in that way...which might be why they are disappointe..."

"Going to Japan was great. I definitely hope to go back some day. It's interesting to feel so much like an outsider. At first it was very unsettling, but the more Japanese people I got to know, the more I learned about Japan's global relationships. It was an eye-opening experience in that sense. Allover, the most impressive ..."

"Definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about how other countries view America, about the history of Europe, how to be independent and travel efficiently on my own without the benefit of a car, about Germany's culture and language and gained some new understanding about how I'd fancy living my life."
Christina Barrera Maryland Institute College of Art
"It was so worthwhile. I not only got to go to Europe for the first time, but the country that my family is from originally. I have always been independent but this helped me even more so to manage my time and money. It also helped me in the realm of meeting new people from all over. It helped me to discover more about myself in ..."

"My mind has been opened to conceptual thinking, and I finally feel more in touch with myself as a person in relation to the art that I produce. I found a culture and my niche in it, and I am eager to return and share my talents abroad for a longer period of time. That being said, I think 5-months is too short for anyone going ab..."
Stefanie A Maryland Institute College of Art
"I gained self confidence and maturity knowing that I could enter a country knowing very little of the language and knowing nobody, and yet I flourished despite it all. I have a better grasp of the world, different politics, and people in general. My art is also much better because I got the chance to take my time on projects and..."

"It was worthwhile because being abroad is always worthwhile! the food was spectacular, I saw SO MUCH in that ridiculous art history class, I went to a lot of places I'd never been within Italy, I met two or three excellent people that I'm keeping in touch with, and my boyfriend (who'd never been to Europe before) and I took a lo..."

"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I got alot out of being in a foreign country and learning how to survive on my own. I grew as a more responsible and independent individual and developed strong artistic skills related to my major. It has given me a greater appreciation for the great work of Italian Masters a..."
