everyone complained about the workload but it was completely appropriate for a semester of college. yes, it's more than what most study abroad students get, but it's also a small and intimate program. i thought it was a given.

 

Caleb Andrew Craig, Fall 2017 Participant
The sites we visited were tied directly to our studio and art history courses. We learned about the techniques, philosophy, and history of Italian art at the time of the Renaissance, and by visiting these and older works, we were able to absorb skills and perspectives in the present.

some fashion students were obnoxious, inconsiderate, and made it everybody's problem that the program wasn't "fashion oriented enough". i would say be wary of how this program is marketed.

Go out and experience as much as possible why you are there and appreciate everything while you are there. I was never once homesick and when it is all over you will reminisce and wish you were still in you’re second home in cortona.

Amazing opportunity to experience a Tuscan lifestyle, find your own style of art, and make once in a lifetime friendships.

I followed in my mom's footsteps and went on this program. It was everything she ever told me it was, if not better. Its a chance of a life time

Having the opportunity to go on the Cortona Fall 22 trip was life changing. I get a larger scope on my fashion degree, and get to realign my personal values back in the States.
