Culture at Kendall
You can’t get lost in the crowd
We’re an intentionally small, decidedly close-knit community. Our students know each other, their professors, and our staff by name. Small class sizes mean you get one-on-one attention, and instructors have the time to support, to advise or just kick back and talk about great art and design.
"Being a student at Kendall is like being part of a really large family. It's small enough for individual attention and it's never impersonal." —Alysha Lach, Illustration major
Our students are as diverse as our programs — from painters to interior designers — from newbies to professionals returning from careers in other fields. Collectively, they create a dynamic culture where youthful energy meets sage experience, where fine arts converges with great design, where a common love of line and form and texture and color fuels passions, shapes ideas and encourages exploration beyond the individual point of view or program. At Kendall, you will broaden your ideas…about people, about art, and about the world around you.
Kendall is home to extraordinarily gifted people who work incredibly hard to develop their talents. Together, they have created an atmosphere where they seek to know each other, work with each other, support each other, and take pride in each other’s accomplishments. There’s a remarkable sense of community at Kendall.
