I love it here, but that's cause its an environment conducive to working really hard and playing even harder. if you can't keep up, you'll be lost academically and socially. everyone works super hard, and the classes are very challenging. i dont think people realize how hard we work here. a 3.6 at holy cross is worth a 4.0 at harvard. the students are kind of competitive…no one really tolerates slacking off. all of my professors have been amazing, they really make the effort to know who you are, even on a personal level. the education is very much for learning, but also to prepare you for the world beyond college. spud is a huge thing on campus…everyone volunteers. everyone is a really good person, very friendly and open to meeting new people. people party a lot, but work always comes first…so if i have a test first thing monday morning, i might not go out on saturday but rather study instead. there is not much of a dating scene…more casual hook ups. people who want to be in a relationship can usually find one. this is the best school in the nation. we work harder and play harder than anyone else!
