    Will learn a lot

    I think this school has a lot to offer the artistic mind.
    Will enjoy being here

    I am very excited to be going to Montserrat in the fall, the campus is nice, as well as the friendly people I met when I visited.
    Bang for the buck

    Montserrat is one of the least expensive schools that I had looked at, and had the best programs, atmosphere, and housing of the many colleges I visited.
    Great for these types of students

    Artists that are actually a bit more normal. I noticed that at some other art colleges, many students seemed to be trying to out-wierd each other.

    Am learning a lot

    This school has a number of recognized and artistic instructors which make learning more fun. The instructors have great insight on the type of work students create and great criticism.
    Am enjoying being here

    Summers seem long as well as winters when you have a place like Montserrat. Everyone who knows who I am knows that I love coming to this school. I can't imagine how I will feel when I become a Senior.
    Bang for the buck

    Although Montserrat is tough on the wallet, I must say that it is worth every penny. The Writing Center has wonderful Tutors that are available to all students on any and every topic. Tutors alone can be a hefty price if paid elsewhere. It was wonderful to see that the staff and faculty take the time to not only get to know you but remember you as well. I could not ask for a better educational institution for me.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come and take a tour. If you are interested in the Art, I am sure you will love what you see! The first time I came to the school, I took a deep breath and just KNEW I was home.
    Great for these types of students

    Photography, Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Graphic Design, Art Education, Book binding, Letterpress and many more I can not think of at the moment.

    In three sentences

    A small cozy school for students interested in learning any form of art. Based more on classical art than digital, but offer excellent programs in both, simply have more in fine arts. Very supportive staff and friendly environment.
    Tips for prospective students

    It's a BFA program, meaning you spend more time focusing on your art, rather than rounded studies. Require very little to no humanities or other classes apart from studios. Very important to be motivated to focus on art and not just doodle through.
    Academic Rigor

    Very important to stay up on assignments and classes. The studio hours are long and there are a few a week. Good for students who can sit down and paint for hours, otherwise if you can't sit still and work, the time will drag on for a very long time.
    Dorm Life

    Very nice dorms. Spacious and are essentially legitimate houses; with roommates. Full kitchen, which means no cafeteria, but it's great to get used to living independently rather than depending on a meal plan. Everything is within walking distance of the dorms, so food shopping isn't hard and there is even a lovely beach a few blocks away.
    Food and Dining

    Excellent cafes and restaurant near by. A stop&shop within a mile.
    What to do for fun

    Beach, mall not too far(need a car though, you can walk to the beach though). There are cafes and bars and essentially it's a small town community.
    Bang for the buck

    A bit overpriced at first glance, but between all the scholarships they provide and financial aid they assist you with, a rather reasonable school for the prices.
    Great for these types of students

    People more interested in focusing on art rather than a rounded education.
    Clubs and Activities

    Not many since the school is small, but they're all interesting and well taken care of.
    Campus Safety

    24/7 security staff, that you can call at any time for any reason what so ever. The campus is really safe, but even if you feel a bit nervous about walking from the school building to your dorm later at night, they are required to walk you if you request it. All dorms are no more than a block away from the main building so even then it's nothing to worry about.
