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.
