Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Given the general lack of diversity at Holy Cross, it’s not surprising that most of the guys and girls are “cut from the same mold.” The campus, as a whole, is extremely preppy, and the majority of students seem to be from upper-middle-class backgrounds, so comparisons to catalogue models are particularly apt. The majority of guys and girls are good-looking in the clean-cut, preppy way. As at any school, people’s appearances vary, but for the most part, the average Holy Cross student is above average in terms of looks.

The hookup scene is an interesting story at Holy Cross. It is de?nitely not a dating school, and most people in serious relationships are dating their high school sweethearts. In most cases, Holy Cross dating seems to be something that happens by accident. Holy Cross is infamous for hooking up and the gossip that ensues from such acts. What passes for a casual relationship is repeated hooking up—hooking up with the same person on weekends, avoiding them all week, and not talking until next Friday’s party. However, serious relationships at Holy Cross are very serious and generally long term—most last years and not months. Interestingly, despite their unwillingness to commit in the undergraduate years, a high percentage of Holy Cross alumni marry other alums!

No Complaints

All girls here are attractive, and many are hot. They all make the effort to look good, all the time. Guys will sit in Kimball and talk about every girl that walks by. The majority are athletes or ex-athletes that spend a lot of time in the gym.

There are a few groups of bitchy girls that think they're hotter than they are. However, for the most part, Holy Cross girls are outgoing and always willing to meet new people. They're funny and sarcastic, which is great for guys looking to make friends with girls or looking to find girlfriends.

Overall, the combination of good looks and good personality of the girls here is top notch.

Preppy and Hot but Definitely Some Odd Balls

Pretty much every girl at holy cross is preppy, athletic and for the most part, gorgeous. While there are definitely the few who choose to rebel against the longchamps, Burberry and Tory Burch, most of the girls are very well- dressed and like to spend lots of time on the ellipticals. Many are very athletic even if they do not continue their sport here. With guys there is definitely more of a mix. The athletes are for the most part extremely attractive, but if you dont play a sport (aka pedestrian), good luck getting the hot girls. There is also definitely more of a nerdy-boy look here once you get outside of the athletes, which some people find attractive in its own respect. For the most part, everyone is smart, wholesome and pretty attractive

So Much Eye Candy

There are a ridiculous amount of good looking people at Holy Cross. So many. It's actually quite hard to believe it. And it's not like the good looking girls and guys are concentrated at some top clique as they were in high school. You KNOW them

What kinds of relationships have you had since coming to school?

How would you rate the social scene on campus?

Facts

Social Scene

The social scene centers on alcohol. During the week, students tend to go out to bars, especially on Tuesday and Thursday nights. On weekends, parties dominate. Sundays are usually spent recuperating from Saturday night and getting work done.

Hookups or Relationships?

Random hookups are the norm; there is no such thing as casual dating.

Dress Code

The student body is overwhelmingly preppy. Pajamas are okay to wear to class, so long as it’s early in the morning. Otherwise, most students are dressed fairly well and look put together for class. Comparisons to students looking like they just stepped from a J.Crew catalog are pretty much right on target.
