College of the Holy Cross
“Newsweek calculated colleges' return on investment.Quite BrightEconomics
Newsweek calculated colleges' return on investment. The top five schools in the country? Princeton, Amherst, Dartmouth, Williams ? and Holy Cross. The College of the Holy Cross is one of the most academically rigorous and best value colleges in the country, according to Newsweek's 2011 college rankings. Holy Cross was fifth in the nation for ?Return on Investment? and came in at number 22 on the magazine's ?Most Rigorous? list.
To come up with their rankings, which were divided into 25 categories, Newsweek ?looked at what American kids really care about these days, and also pulled from sources including the National Center for Education Statistics, the College Board, the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy, the Sustainable Endowment Institute, a data partnership with the Washington Monthly? (which recently ranked Holy Cross 39th on their list of the top liberal arts colleges.)

“We have very good professors that are funnyQuite BrightEnglish
We have very good professors that are funny and ridiculously smart that inspire us as students to do everything the best way we can and with enthusiasm. Our classes are pretty small to individualize attention more, which is really good for our grades. We also get a lot of work and we get it done because there is always a campus activity going on to motivate us to finish our work and get unstressed. Also, most of the people on campus are friendly and it is very easy to acquire friends through intellectual interests and other commonalities.
