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 &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; or &#8220;let me get back to you&#8221; is something I try to keep to a minimum.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m not a student. I don&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Our students, however, do. And what&#8217;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?
