Solid Academics
College professors really care about how the students do. While it's still a college, they make sure you are learning their material. They present it in new and interesting ways, and really make students think. The college is well equipped with resources to aide in learning as well. Furthermore, the stats speak for themselves. 80% of those who apply get into medical School and law school.

The Computers at Holy Cross are far from perfect. The servers crash occasionally preventing students from even using the school computers. Almost all of the computers run on Windows Vista software or something older (I'm not a mac person, but they have only a handful of them). Bring your own computer.

Not for the Warm Hearted
It's Worcester. It's not great. It can be cloudy and rainy for weeks on end. That doesn't mean you shouldn't go there! It stays pretty warm until late in the fall (don't really need a jacket until late october), and it gets to be pretty warm in the spring. But January, February, and March are freezing cold. And there's a lot of snow.

Nothing Around
There is almost nothing to do in Worcester. But with free shuttles to Boston, Natick, and Providence, you can go there if you want to shake things up

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

Solid for Everyone but Sophomores
Campus housing is fine. The RA's are useful, but not too strict. You get a pretty big room as a freshman (no suite/bathroom though, but really, who needs that?) Only downfall is sophomore housing, which is about identical to the freshman housing in terms of size, space, and dorm life. Juniors and Seniors get suites and apartments. Most people choose to live on campus because the quality of the dorms is solid. And the maids take out your trash. Oh...but freshman bathrooms can get disgusting. Especially if you're a guy in Hansleman

A Wonderful World
I wish I could go to college for 50 more years at this school. It's wonderful. Everything about it. From walking around campus and seeing how beautiful it is, to interacting with different professors who know more than anyone you've met before, to hanging with friends in the dorms and at parties. It's actually the best.
