“I came into the Fine Art (Portfolio Preparation) course with a lot of anxiety, but being around people with such dedication to their various areas of interest has really helped me to find my footing. I usually have cold feet when it comes to social interaction but the atmosphere is very chill and really relaxing and I found myself comfortable enough to go out of my way to talk to others and engage in topics of our interests. I have made incredibly fun and great friends throughout this course.”
