In case you are still debating whether or not Holy Cross is for you, I want to offer some of my personal and professional thoughts on why Holy Cross is so special and why you should apply.\u00a0<\/p>\nIn case you are still debating whether or not Holy Cross is for you, I want to offer some of my personal and professional thoughts on why Holy Cross is so special and why you should apply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The community <\/strong>that exists at Holy Cross\u00a0is incredibly supportive, nurturing and close-knit.\u00a0 It is a place where students look out for each other, where faculty members take time to help each student succeed and where administrators take the time to get to know and care for each student.\u00a0 You cannot get lost here as a student unless you are purposely trying to hide.\u00a0 Struggle is inherent to the college experience, but regardless of the challenges they face during their time on the hill, students at Holy Cross have always been able to find the support they need to overcome any adversity and succeed.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Second, you have the best of both worlds<\/strong> at Holy Cross, the excitement of a large school setting and the intimacy of a small school setting.\u00a0 Because we offer a Division I athletic program, you will find incredible support for athletics and a strong network of fans for our various sports teams.\u00a0 As I often say to students, you have the feel and energy of a bigger school at Holy Cross even though we are a community of less than 3,000.\u00a0 It\u2019s a place where you can count on students to proudly\u00a0don their Holy Cross gear at football<\/a> games or paint themselves purple to attend a basketball<\/a> game.\u00a0 At the same time, you can always count on receiving the best of what a small school can offer you:\u00a0 one-on-one attention in the academic arena.\u00a0 In the classroom, you are treated as an individual and as an intellectual.\u00a0 Professors will not just talk at you but they will talk to you, and you can always expect to have a collaborative relationship with faculty members.<\/p>\n \u00a0A third reason is our location in Worcester<\/strong>.\u00a0 Worcester<\/a> is the second largest city in the New England region and is an incredible environment for higher learning.\u00a0 It is rich in culture and industry with residents from all over the world and industries that range from medicine to education to business.\u00a0 There is a little bit of something for everyone. Such an environment is uncommon for a small liberal arts school, most of which are located in more rural environments.\u00a0 In Worcester, it is easy to find good food<\/a>, good shopping<\/a> and good entertainment<\/a> among other things.\u00a0<\/p>\n I could give you a plethora of other reasons to attend Holy Cross but there\u2019s not enough time.\u00a0 I hope that these thoughts give you a few more things to consider as you make your enrollment decision.\u00a0 And of course, I hope to see you on campus this coming fall!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tran Kim-Senior In case you are still debating whether or not Holy Cross is for you, I want to offer some of my personal and professional thoughts on why Holy Cross is so special and why you should apply.\u00a0 The community that exists at Holy Cross\u00a0is incredibly supportive, nurturing and close-knit.\u00a0 It is a place where students … <\/p>\n
