Our Experience Report Handbooks, in which students reflect on their 
study abroad experiences, are new and improved! Here are a few programs 
students have recently participated in and submitted experience reports 
about. You can come into the office to see these reports anytime during 
office hours (9-12, 1-4:30)

**Well's College: Arts in Paris**
The unique attraction of this program is its focus on the arts. It is 
designed for students wishing to develop their interests and talents in 
areas such as the studio arts (drawing, painting, photography, 
bookbinding, printmaking, sculpture, fashion design illustration, 
ceramics, etc.), the performing arts (dance, music), and art history 
while experiencing another culture. The success of the program is 
intimately linked to its location: Paris is undoubtedly one of the most 
exciting places in the world for people in the arts due to its unique 
combination of historical resources, professional instruction, and 
public commitment to art and culture.
