“North Adams is slowly becoming this kind of musical cultural hub. And it’s because of things like the Fresh Grass Institute. It’s because things like Wilco and people’s eyes are being turned to North Adams.”
“If I was to describe MCLA to someone in one sentence, I would say small but mighty community, for sure. Even if you are a commuter, you can still get very involved on campus, so you don’t have to live here to enjoy the experience. And that was something I was really nervous about before coming here was, if I wasn’t gonna live on campus how was I going to get involved? And now into senior year, I’m the Student Government Association President. I’m an ambassador for the sociology department. I’m the secretary for the honors program council. I’m a peer mentor. I work in our essential needs center. I work as an assistant in the president’s office and you can find me basically anywhere else on campus.”
“If I were to have to sum up MCLA in one word, it would be family. So, even if you’re not quite sure if this would be the place for you. I can almost guarantee that you will find a home here at MCLA.”
