“As artists, we can oftentimes catch negative comments about studying the arts, and then it is part of our schooling to have our work critiqued on a regular basis. Living in an arts community helps us to deal with those things because we all support each other. We brainstorm, we go to each other’s performances and exhibits, we create a supportive community where we all can thrive.” Resident Advisor 2014
“I love living in a community of like-minded people. I look forward to coming home to a bunch of unique, chaotic, and hard-at-work artistic minds every day.” Student Resident 2015
