While there are many stereotypical Holy Cross students on campus, over the years I have found students who have other interests, styles, and personalities. Holy Cross has a liberal arts curriculum where students take some general requirements, major courses, and have the freedom in their curriculum to take other courses that interest them. I've really enjoyed the majority of my classes and find them relevant to each other, my own life and current events. I know that I've learned so much since coming to Holy Cross. While there is substantial work, I would recommend choosing classes based on your interests and skills, and that will make it easier. Almost all Holy Cross students are friendly, involved in many organizations on campus, and serious about academics. One group of students are preppy, rich, from private high schools, and always socializing. Their weekends tend to be consumed by parties which they talk about at the dining hall and coffee shop on Sunday and before Monday classes. This is the stereotypical Holy Cross student, but there are other types of students as well. Many others dress more casually, are more down to earth, and spend their free time working on campus, participating in student organizations and watching movies/playing board games on weekend nights. I would not consider the school a cliquey one; while students have their respective groups of friends, these are permeable groups.
