College of the Holy Cross

Great Place to Grow

You could spend a lot of time evaluating the facilities, activities, and nightlife of any college, but at the end of the day, it's the people you meet that will make your experience. You'll meet great people here if you keep an open mind. I was very iffy about coming to Holy Cross at first, and tension can exist on the topic of trying to be more diverse. But you've got to keep in mind that real friendships and respect goes beyond race and ethnicity, always. I made close friends much faster than I thought I would, and we keep each other here. We keep each other happy. Everyone's got decent work ethic too, so getting work done with peers makes it easier. Of course, it can also make it harder, and there are isolated places for that. I'd choose Holy Cross again because I've met people who've opened up my potential to be my best person.

Holy Cross was not my first...

Holy Cross was not my first choice, but I am so thankful that I ended up here. The overall experience is amazing, and I can't picture myself anywhere else.

Holy Cross was an easy transition...

Holy Cross was an easy transition for me, since I came from a very small school. All of the students here are very nice—for example, everyone holds the door for the next person. It's also comforting to me to see familiar faces around campus. There are enough people here that there is always someone new to meet, but it's small enough that you certainly don't feel lost in a sea of students.
