Blog: Beautiful Campus, Stellar Premed Program Drew Saporito ’13 to Mount St. James

‘Everything at Holy Cross has met — or exceeded — my expectations’

NAME Drew Saporito ’13

HOMETOWN Brick, N.J.

AREAS OF STUDY Psychology major with a premedical concentration

WHY HE CHOSE HOLY CROSS “I wanted a small school in the Boston area that was in a city but still had a safe and secure campus. Holy Cross gave me just that, a beautiful secure campus while still being located in a city, Worcester. Another reason is the premedical program. While most schools send 40 percent of their premed students off to medical schools, Holy Cross sends 84 percent. Although I am not on any varsity teams, I wanted to attend a school where there are crowds at games to support athletics. Thus far everything at Holy Cross has met — or exceeded — my expectations.”

ACTIVITIES Operation Smile, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Wheeler House Council

WHAT HE’S MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO “Experiencing all that college has to offer — Spring Break Immersion trips, basketball games at the Hart Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters, meeting new and different people, venturing to Boston, Providence, and into Worcester, and developing photography skills.”

WHY HE’S BLOGGING “These blogs really helped me gain insight into daily life at Holy Cross when I was looking at schools. Now that I am here, I want to share my experiences with anyone who is interested. I hope my blog will make the decision to attend Holy Cross that much easier for prospective students. Also, I want to be able to look back at my college experience years from now, and blogging for the Holy Cross Web site will make that possible.”
