You get what you put into it

I had a very successful time at this school. I was there for two months in the summer, and had a great time. My session was on the smaller side so I get a good amount of personal attention from teachers. The most important thing that I realized while at SRISA is this: yes, you can focus less on the academics and make projects easier for yourself and you will most likely still receive an "A". However, the projects are always very open to interpretation, and you will have the opportunity to attempt more difficult ideas that challenge you more and are great practice for forming stronger concepts with your work. At SRISA, I was able to devote my time to trying new things with my work and get honest feedback about it, and it really did change how I approach my work and my projects. I am thankful to my teachers for that.
