Student Experience

Navigating a new country despite language and cultural differences gave me incredible confidence

— Alison Alsup ‘23

I learned that I’m capable of a lot more than I thought - this was an experience that really pushed my boundaries and expectations on a lot of things and I think I’ve become a bigger person because of it.

— Maura Moller ‘25

The coolest part of my time abroad was being able to see the art pieces and buildings I've only ever seen in photos and textbooks in person, and having it all be a walk away from my apartment!

— Izzy Thomas '26

Maura is standing and drawing in front of a historical sculpture in Rome.

STUDY DOMESTICALLY

Not interested in going abroad? Try studying for a semester at another art college in the United States. Mobility affords students at AICAD institutions the opportunity to not only experience a different area of the country, but different artists!
