I'll be honest: in applying to colleges, HC was not my immediate first choice. However, after doing tours and an overnight here, I fell in love with the place. The students are outgoing and friendly, and the population at Holy Cross as a whole is very welcoming. The campus is beautiful (twice been ranked as the #1 most beautiful and well landscaped & maintained campus in the country!) As a prospective, I went to some classes and found the lectures really engaging and the professors to be brilliant and helpful. School spirit here is amazing—everyone loves this place. With a 97% rentention rate, it's pretty clear that students here are VERY happy.The workload *is* pretty intense… but for as hard as we work, we play hard, too. Basketball and hockey games are a blast, parties are great (on or off campus)… and Worcester has done a LOT over the past few years to make the city better… Main Street is really nice now (the Raw Bar hosts a Holy Cross night on Thursdays) and Shrewsbury Street is closeby (Cafe Dolce has an addictive triple chocolate cake).There's really no place I'd rather be… I know HC is going to help get me into a great law school, and everyone I've met here is amazing and wonderful.
