Coming to SRISA has helped my sister an I mature our
skills as young artists and discovered new types of
mediums in which we normally wouldn't be interested
in. We bonded even more while studying abroad,
sharing a variety of memories together through new
friendships within the local community. This helped
us immerse ourselves furthermore into the rich
Italian culture. Lastly, the faculty was very
welcoming and always willing to help!
This has been an unforgettable experience for both of us.
