Student Life

Campus life

MCAD offers private and shared apartments—not crowded dorms—that contain full kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, and storage space. Living on campus puts you right in the center of our college community, where you’ll have easy access to student events and campus facilities, most of which are open 24/7.

Sports facilities

Keep yourself in tip-top shape with exercise, relaxation, and all-around good mental health. Creating balance in your busy college life will serve you well, which is why you have access to the following benefits.

Student clubs

Recess Club anyone? Or #ThrowbackThursday Club? Or how about Meditation Homework Club? MCAD is home to an endless list of student clubs, allowing you to get a break from your regular schedule, meet new people, and maybe even learn a few things, too. Oh, and if none of our existing clubs spark your interest, you can always start your own.
