Attending Holy Cross is perfect for someone who does not like huge crowds of people or rowdy events. Holy Cross offers great programs, excellent professors and fun weekend events. Getting around campus is a good workout too, with the hills!

All of my classes have been tough but I have been graded fairly.

A ton of fun, clean (most of the time) and good kids around for the most part.
