Review of Holy Cross College

from Trail Creek, IN

Describe your college in three sentences.

The professors at Holy Cross College are extraordinarily better at guiding and motivating their students than any I have ever experienced. The best choice I have made as a young adult would be choosing to give Holy Cross College a chance. I am exceedingly grateful for the time I have spent under the tutelage of such great minds as those found at Holy Cross College.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Seriously contemplate your reasoning behind seeking a higher education. Are you attending only to please your elders? Are you just looking to party the next four years of your life away? If by some slim chance your real intention is to develop yourself to become a stronger member within the community, than Holy Cross College is worth taking a look at.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

At Holy Cross College, the professors expected excellence from me. I felt I was properly motivated and trained to meet and exceed not only the expectations I had for myself, but also the expectations of my professors. The superb quality of the work assigned to me and the instruction given to me by my professors helped me to meet my goal of attaining knowledge in business administration and helped me make a newly founded goal of perfecting my skills as a reader and writer through attaining an English major as well.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I commuted during the entirety of my school career there, so it would be wrong of me to rate the dorm life there. However, the site forced me to do so.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

I did not take part in eating at the school either, but a rating was required.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

I found the coed athletic events enjoyable. Activities at Notre Dame University and Saint Mary's University are also available for the Holy Cross students to take part in, so there are a variety of options for every student available if one chooses to become an active member of the school.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

My education at Holy Cross was worth every penny and I would not trade it for anything.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This is a great college experience for the inquisitive student looking to develop one's mind, body and spirit in a smaller classroom environment.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Clubs and activities are a work-in-progress, but have seen tremendous improvement in my four years at Holy Cross. I believe the clubs and activities will continue to grow and flourish with the help of the dedicated student body and staff.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

I had trouble feeling safe and secure when I first attended the school due to my military background, but I quickly learned to let my guard down after becoming a member of the school community. However, I must admit there was a certain amount of theft occurring, although it was no worse in scale than any other school I have attended.
