College of the Holy Cross

I am a freshman at Holy Cross and there is no place I would rather attend. The school is perfectly balanced - hard work and fun weekends. The majority of students are in the same mindset of wanting to succeed academically but also interested in going out. The academics are top notch, but the intelligence of the students does not take away from the fun. Regardless of your major, you will get a job after you graduate because of the alumni connections. It is definitely difficult to obtain a high GPA, and I know plenty of smart and hardworking students struggling to maintain a 3.0. Employers are aware of the challenging academics and are known to understand if a GPA is lower than they would typically hire. I would highly recommend this college.

Holy Cross is an amazing institution, especially as an liberal arts college. Faculties are extremely friendly and you never feel intimidated by them. They are there to teach you and that's pretty evident on a day to day basis.I'm not going to lie but the coursework is pretty intense. If you want an easy A, don't come here. But if you truly appreciate this sense of higher education and this craving for more knowledge, this is the place to be.

Top notch professors, awesome student body, rigorous work load, fun night life, tons of student activities and clubs--everything I could ask for in my college experience. OK, Worcester isn't very pretty, but the proximity to other cities is great. Overall, I love Holy Cross.
