Life at Brevard cOLLEGE
The town of Brevard has gained national recognition as a “best place to live” and “coolest small town,” offering everything from boutique shops and art galleries, to open air dining and old time street dancing. Art and music are an integral part of the mountain culture that fuels this vibrant small town.
