Big Picture

I am absolutely in love with Holy Cross. I enjoy the Jesuit teachings and am inspired by "men and women for others." The students are smart, classy, nice, and a majority, have good heads on their shoulders. I feel as if I know everyone, but I meet someone new every day. For the most part, my professors have been brilliant and easy to talk to--I often have coffee with them and have gone to dinner at their homes. As an added bonus, the campus is gorgeous.

Academic Life

The library is a hot-spot at Holy Cross and dorm study rooms are always filled at night. We are told almost weekly that Holy Cross has the highest work load in the country. Students here are success-driven and academically competitive.

Student Body

Unfortunately, I do not feel that Holy Cross is very diverse. When you walk into Kimball, segregation is evident--black people sit at one table and white people sit at another. However, students are aware of this and changes are trying to be made.

The Best Things

The Jesuit, competitive, friendly, classy atmosphere

The Worst Things

The segregation among students of different races
