Happy November! The fall seems to be flying by us in the Office of Admissions: staff are returning from their travels, gearing up for our second Open House, and preparing for the next part of the admissions cycle: reading season. <\/span><\/h3>\n

The fall semester seems to be flying by for students on campus as well! Although it was last month, we asked a student to tell us more about her experience at\u00a0Family Weekend<\/a>, and Maddy Smith was happy to help us! Here is her story:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Family Weekend always seems to come at the perfect time each year. \u00a0Your pantry seems to be running low, you realize that you have forgotten all of your winter sweaters, and you mostly just want a hug from your mom. \u00a0Have no fear, Family Weekend is finally here! \u00a0Although I am a\u00a0spring athlete at Holy Cross, my fall season still has many weekend tournaments at various colleges. \u00a0This year, Family Weekend coincided with a lacrosse-filled weekend…but thankfully, my parents were still able to be involved! \u00a0We spent Saturday and Sunday morning at Hamden Hall playing Quinnipiac and Dartmouth College (playing three different teams!). \u00a0During a brisk fall game, it\u2019s the best to come off the sidelines and get wrapped in blankets by your parents\u2019 arms! \u00a0Although, I wasn\u2019t able to spend time with my family on campus this weekend, it was great to spend time with them at my games.<\/p>\n

Luckily, in traditional Holy Cross fashion, there were plenty of families around on campus! After our game on Saturday, we came back to Mt. St. James\u00a0in the afternoon, where we found families enjoying various tailgates and the football game. \u00a0Although my parents couldn\u2019t make it back to campus to enjoy these activities, I was welcomed into tailgates and given great post-game treats! \u00a0As the afternoon continued and the temperature started to fall, students returned back to their houses and residence halls. \u00a0Many students went out to the great restaurants of Worcester with their families. \u00a0I joined two friends and their families for dinner at\u00a0Volturno<\/a>, one of the pizza restaurants in town! \u00a0So, even if your own family isn\u2019t able to make it to Family Weekend, you\u2019re sure to find many families that are more than happy to let you join in the fun!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
