\u201cI was excited to be a member of such a close-knit, passionate intellectual community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n -Julia Palmerino \u201818, <\/span>History and Music double major, from Sudbury, MA<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201c<\/span>I most looked forward to the rigorous liberal arts education that Holy Cross offers. As a senior in high school, I had no idea what I wanted to study and I was excited to explore a myriad of options at Holy Cross.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n -Jeff Warden \u201818, Economics and Spanish double major, from North Andover, MA<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHaving class, studying, and doing research in the awesome science complex.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n -Tom Cimini \u201818, Psychology Major and Neuroscience Minor, from Pittsfield, MA<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI loved that Holy Cross was like its own community. \u00a0When I first came to the campus, I saw people walking by and saying hi to one another, working on homework together, and just talking and having fun. \u00a0For me, the best part of Holy Cross is that it is so small. You get to really know the people around you and, in turn, form an even stronger attachment to the community <\/span>itself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n -Talia Spirito \u201821, Undeclared major, from Cranston, Rhode Island<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAs I was looking at different Colleges and Universities, I was looking closely at the Pre-Med programs. \u00a0Holy Cross’s Medical school acceptance rate is one of the highest in the country and more than double the national average.\u201d<\/p>\n -Jennifer Jackson \u201819, Accounting major Anthropology minor, Pre-Business Track, from Newton, MA<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI looked forward to the opportunity to become involved in the Worcester community.
