2 Students rated Holy Cross College

Perry - 04/25/2021

This school is losing students. Less than when I started. I should have transferred after the first year or two. There is a lot of shaming of students here. If something goes wrong with your life, there isn't much sympathy here. I don't think this place is very cool.

Kamil - 05/18/2017

Its a good place if you want a very small school, but it isn't rigorous. The graduates get service jobs. The school is going through a terrible time (search news from May 2017) and my advice is don't take the chance they might close without letting current students finish their degree. That's what I'm afraid of.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I've always taken popularity for granted, but when I got into Holy Cross everthing changed. Being non-religious, entering a Catholic College change my outlook on how I did things, socially, and emotionally. After the two years I have completed at Holy Cross, I have learned more in the two years, and met the most amazing people, than the last 15 years of my life. Everybody at Holy Cross College is very friendly and care to learn more about someone else, than talk about themself. Even the professors are there to encourage and give you first hand experience on life. They will give you real life examples and tell you straight forward how things happen and the best way to go about things. They are personal, so if you need to talk they are there. My mother just got removed from her job at Notre Dame, and my business professor helped us through the situation and make sure everything would be ok. Now the financial aid staff is doing their best to help me go there this upcoming semester. The teamwork and understanding every person, staff, and faculty member has is very overwelmingy and couldn't ask for more.

  6. What's unique about your campus?

    The best thing about Holy Cross college would have to be opportunity. For example, I met Nathan Ring the very first day of my freshman year at Holy Cross. He convinced me to double major in Psych, and it has been a joy ever since. I love partaking in Psych club and fundraising. Holy Cross also offers independant research to overly zealous academic scholars such as myself. I have found no other accredited institution that lets undergraduates publish research findings so readilly. For me, Holy Cross has been a dream come true.
