Aramark

We're thankful for them because they feed us, but not thankful for the stomach aches they give us. Aramark will never beat a home-cooked meal made by your mom, but they try.

Boardmans


Everybody's go-to place on the weekend. Who doesn't love a sweaty, over-crowded apartment?

Cheesy Bread

Whether it's 2 a.m. or 2 p.m., cheesy bread always sounds like a good idea. It's always a great day when you remember you have leftover cheesy bread waiting for you at home.

Desperados

If you're sick of cafeteria food or simply need to cure that Mexican food craving, Desperados has got you covered. From home-made guacamole to burritos the size of your head, you're guaranteed to leave feeling satisfied.

Eldridge Hall

A place where your success is their top priority. From academic support to helping you deal with the stress of financial aid, the people of Eldridge Hall are there for you.

Fish Pond

North Adams may not have a beach, but Fish Pond is close enough. It allows for public swimming and camping. Fish Pond is perfect for anyone, on or off campus, looking for a fun place to visit on the warmer days.

Gas Leak

What sent 30 people to the hospital and left many others homeless? Nothing other than the Berkshire Towers gas leak. For four days the people of BT walked around shoe-less, phone-less and angry. What they thought was just a drill, ended up being a test of their sanity.

Houghton Mansion

Only seconds away from MCLA's campus, the Houghton Mansion was once home to Albert Houghton back in the early 1900s. The Houghtons died in a tragic car accident and it is believed their spirits still haunt their home. This mansion is said to be so haunted that Ghost Adventures came to check it out.

Intramurals

Volleyball, basketball and soccer are just a few of the intramurals offered at MCLA. It does not matter who you are, anyone is welcomed to play.

Journey

College is one of the biggest journeys we will go on in our lives. We are lucky to be experiencing this journey at MCLA.

Kindness

Because of MCLA's small size, there is no doubt you will bump into a few people you know on the way to class. From big smiles to long hugs, everyone is happy to see one another.

Late Night

Wednesday through Friday night you can find many students at MCLA taking a study break and heading to the cafeteria for a late night snack.

Murdock Stairs

The stairs of Murdock are incredibly painful, even for the fittest people. Anything higher than the second floor and you are guaranteed to start sweating and panting. Give yourself a break and take the elevator.

North Adams

The city that surrounds MCLA. There may be not much to do, but this city has a whole lot of character and history.

Opportunity

There are so many opportunities available at MCLA. Many of which are right in front of you.

P.O.D.

Without this mini grocery store on campus, there would be a lot of hungry students roaming about. Not only will the P.O.D. supply you with the snacks you want, they will also be there for you when you realize you've lost your toothbrush.

Quad Paintings

When the sun is out, so are the artists. Nothing beats walking to class and seeing the sidewalks covered in art.

Registration


As if the 7 a.m wake-up call was not enough, now you have to fight for the classes you need. You better hope the WiFi is working that day.

Snow days

Or should I say, lack of snow days.

Trailblazers

It's always a good day to be a Trailblazer.

Unity

The unity at MCLA is unbreakable.

Views

From Mount Greylock to The Top of the World, the Berkshires are known for its amazing views.

WiFi

When we have fast WiFi days, take advantage of them.

Xtra Mart

If the P.O.D. does not have what you need, there's no need to worry as Xtra Mart is right down the street stocked up with all the necessities.

Yik-Yak

Arguably one of the worst apps to exist. Nothing good comes from something anonymous. However, MCLA users keep it cool.

Zero Degrees


New England weather is unpredictable. One day it's 60 degrees and the next it's 30. Here in the Berkshires, negative 45 degrees days are to be expected.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
