Life at Montserrat

Montserrat is a place that celebrates not only personal self-expression but also experiences shared with fellow community members. We derive our strength from a profound sense of connection and inclusion.

Learning in an environment of joy and camaraderie will strengthen your artistic voice, as you learn how to express who you are and what you stand for without fear of judgment.

Whether you’re splattering new friends during our “Paint War” for first-year students or sharing a meal with your suitemates, you’ll be immersed in a welcoming and supportive community. At the same time, you’ll learn how to advocate for your beliefs in different environments—from critiques to internships. You can also develop your leadership skills by participating in one of the many student-run clubs that energize our campus.
