massachusettes college of liberal arts 

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.
