All Student Stories
  • When you live with your friends, there’s always someone to be with and something to do on campus, in downtown Black Mountain, or nearby with easy access to over 20 hiking trails. The surrounding views of the Blue Ridge Mountains are breathtaking, and Asheville, only a short drive from campus, provides plenty of options for restaurants, theaters, live music, and shopping.
  • We believe in the value that a Christian liberal arts education offers, and we are committed to making that education as accessible and affordable as possible. That’s why Montreat College tuition is nearly 25% lower than the national average for private colleges and universities. We’re committed to making your investment in a Christ-centered education possible with our competitive financial aid opportunities.
