Get to know your campus location
Camp St is basically a creative student’s dream. Visual art studios – tick, a professional gallery – tick, multiple performance spaces – tick (hello 150-seat theatre). It might be a small campus, but there are so many beautiful buildings to explore and enjoy. The diverse student cohort is big on extracurricular activities, too – there's never a dull moment. Before Orientation, plan how you'll get there. (Will you drive? Get public transport?) Check out our Camp St campus page to learn more.
