Massachusetts College of Art, or MassArt is the only public art school in the country, with 60% of the students are female. At least half of the students are from somewhere in MA, and many commute. Although a public school, quite a few artists have over inflated egos, and will not fail to make themselves, and their art noticed. Enjoyable pass times include art, acting and dressing like 'stereotypical' artists. Many are eccentric, odd, and happy go lucky. It is where the over inflated ego artist meets the reserved artist.

One of the nation's oldest art institutions,located in Boston, MA.
Massachusetts College of Art, or "MassArt", is surrounded by a number of other colleges and scary homeless men who wander in and out of Mission Hill.
Common activities include:
Wondering when the Wentworth Bros are going to stop going to the gym, playing xbox, or wearing polos. Bragging over the fact that your dorm includes three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, living room and enough food to last you for days- unless you live in smith and actually leave your dorm to visit the outside world. Sleeping through Introduction to Western Art History lectures until the sound of a jim bean bottle clashing on the cement floor and the teacher screaming obscenities about sexual conquests wakes you up. Knowing that you can get from one end of campus to the other without going outside. Seeing the entire school burn things at the annual "Iron Pour". Getting pissed at your friends at regular universities because they complain about their two hours classes- in comparison to your six hour studios.
How to spot someone who attends MassArt:
A Massarter will ussually be spotted anytime between 11am and 3 am wondering the streets in there skinny jeans, Dr.Marten books while holding a cigarette in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. Other qualities include: thick rimmed classes,wearing tights as pants or having one or more parts of their hair shaved, died or dreaded.

Beware: RA's, the never-ending winter, herpes, and townies.

This is a small liberal arts based college in North Adams Ma. The resources here suck and it feels like it's in ancient times with the technology. It feels more like a high school than a college. With a population of like not even 2,000 students everyone knows everyone. There is tons of gossip, the sports suck, and best of all you can't even allow more then one person into your dorm. Absolute bullshit, the rules here are pathetic. Also there is only one street off campus you can party it and it's full of townies. Pines are the only people that actually turn up at this school.
