Student Testimonials
I am so glad that I chose to join the Art History department's study abroad trip to Paris this past year... It was amazing to see everything that I had learned about in my classes in real life. There is such a difference in seeing an object on a PowerPoint slide versus in real life. No reproduction or photograph can capture the color or the brushstroke of an artist. To be immersed in the art and history of Paris is every student's dream...Studying abroad is all about getting outside of your comfort zone and immersing yourself into the local culture.”
Art came alive during those two weeks in a way I had never experienced or imagined. Coming face to face with prized art collections and pieces rendered by the masters was absolutely surreal. Without a doubt, a piece of my heart was left behind somewhere between the Eiffel Tower and Monet’s Gardens!! I know that I want to return to Paris very soon. The culture, the people, the language - all are so special and beautiful.”
Nothing else in my life has grown me up faster. Immersing myself in unfamiliar customs, language, and history opened my eyes to a vast realm of possibilities I never could have encountered through my schooling in Auburn alone. Buon viaggio!”
I would encourage every college student to study abroad, but I think it is even more important for art students. There is so much inspiration found in a new environment, and there is no substitute for seeing such monumental works of art, first hand. Witnessing their existence in person changes the way you see these works. View my five weeks in Rome, Italy with Auburn's Art program.”
