Why I chose Holy Cross: Holy Cross has the unique quality of having a student body that is comprised of eclectic interests and personalities that is simultaneously united through a passion for service and commitment to others. Students at Holy Cross are very clearly dedicated to academics and working to achieve the highest quality work possible. In choosing Holy Cross I knew I would study, participate in clubs, play on sports teams, and perform service amongst people who are as dedicated to these areas as I am. Every student is willing and ready to convey knowledge to another, and this is why our school is so cohesive. The smaller size of the college is perfect for me personally because while walking to class, I pass people I know, but I also see some students for the first time. In the same day that you will spend time with an old friend, you can meet a new one. Holy Cross is an exceptional place to spend four years!
