I wish I could tell you. Really, I do. As a member of the admissions staff, I view knowing as much as I can about this school as a point of pride; having to say “I don’t know” or “let me get back to you” is something I try to keep to a minimum.
The trouble is, no matter how much research I can do, no matter how long I work here, I will never be able to answer that question. I’m not a student. I don’t eat in the dining halls, sleep in the dorms, attend classes and lectures, cheer my lungs out at games, or form lifelong friendships on this campus.
Our students, however, do. And what’s even better is that there are seven current students doing a stellar job answering this question on social media. So you want to see what Holy Cross is really like? Start following Meaghan, Alli, Kerri, Natalie, Matt, Caroline, and Julia:
1) On Twitter (current students initial their posts and photos)
2) On Instagram: MeaghanB2017, AlliD2016, KerriF2016, NatalieC2017, MattB2016, CarolineL2016, and JuliaL2016
3) Their student profiles (coming soon!)
A quick peek at some recent contributions….
Every spring, I find myself at college fairs speaking with students about Holy Cross. During my conversations, I can’t tell you the number of times students inquire about becoming involved in the sciences while on our campus. A few weeks ago our staff took a personal tour of the new science complex on campus. Below are some photos from the experience:
