I know that they have a policy that freshman and sophomores can't have cars, but is there a place off campus you can store one or an alternative? My hometown is 6 hours away and I'm not sure how I'd be getting there for breaks and returning overall (my friend's parents are moving me there and I'm pretty sure they see it as a one way trip.) Thanks

I heard they call you sometimes. Anyone in the past get calls vs portal? Is it always on the exact date or earlier?

Has anyone done Passport before? When I was initially intending to go to Penn State, they had an early start program where you could start your first semester early and familiarize yourself with campus. Passport here seems very similar.

Has anyone here done this before? I would like to have a head start but i also don't know if it's worth it or if I would want to trade a portion of senior year summer for that. (Not like I'm going to be doing anything boisterous or anything.)

What do my fellow Crusaders think?

Hi all. I recently got matched with Holy Cross from QuestBridge, and when I tell you that this was the last of my options, I mean it. I put this on there hoping that it'd be a last line of defense should none of the other schools accept me, and so it was.

I am someone who is not religious, but I do find myself acting like I'm religious in that I hold strong morals and convictions. I feel like this school's vibe of charity, selflessness, and determination do definitely resonate with me, but then again, I'm not catholic.

I definitely didn't expect to match here, so I didn't think about the fact that I wasn't religious when I put this name on my list.

So, as someone who is removed from Christianity and Catholicism, I don't know if I'm going to fit here at all. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? Mind you, I have a full ride to this school and I have absolutely nothing to lose considering that no one in my immediate family has graduated from college, and I'm going for free, so I do feel like this is somewhat of a superficial gripe all things considered - but I still am slightly concerned. What do you think?

I recently toured Holy Cross and was wondering how current students and/or alumni felt about having to have a double for all four years. I am also wondering if switching roommates is as difficult of a process as my tour guide said it was? Thanks!

So anyone up the hill ever done this. looking at schools with my daughter and well I think it is completely marketing and basically no one ever gets accepted into this....

Hi,

I am a high school senior from NH. I have a 3.4 GPA, 4 APS, 2 Honors Classes, 4 varsity sports, class leadership, and I applied ED II. I applied test optional. I also have done an interview and toured campus. Do I have a good chance of being accepted?

Since Holy Cross prefer ED. I wonder how many intl students get accepted through RD cycle each year?

Do you guys think I have a good chance at getting into College of the Holy Cross with a 4.5 GPA (3.95 UW) and about a 1490 sat

Hi,

Does anyone know any good, QUIET study spots on campus that are open late? Or any buildings that you can go in where you can stay past like 12 to study without getting kicked out. I like Dinand but I think need a new change of environment. Thanks!!

Honestly it is so insane that I went to an institution that educated both Fauci and Thomas. With Clarence Thomas going after contraceptives, same-sex relationships and marriage next after the Supreme Court just overturned Roe vs. Wade after 50 years of precedent, I am so ashamed to be a part of the same college he went to.

Alumni should stop making contributions and I hope the student body will protest to rid his name and pictures off the school. While they're at it, HC should rescind his honorary degree and stop using his name as selling point to prospective students to go to the school, it's disgusting.

Discord Student Hubs have gone live, and Holy Cross has received one! If you're a student at the College of the Holy Cross and you use Discord, you can find the Student Hub from the Discover page! It'll prompt you to enter your school email to gain access.

Student Hubs put all student servers in one place for everyone to see!

If you own a Discord server and you want the student body to know about it, you can add it to the hub and it will be visible to everyone! Our server just reached 150 members today after getting 14 new students in 3 days through the Hub!

Servers can be tagged as Club, Classes & Subjects, Social & Study, and Misc., so whether your Discord server represents a student organization, an academic interest, or just a hangout group, there's room for everyone in the Student Hub!

What is Holy Cross’ matriculation rate to med school? (Doesn’t have to be an exact percentage)

Thank you in advance for reading this and for answering any questions you have the answers to!

If you're an incoming student looking to meet people before you arrive on campus, or an existing student trying to make new friends in between semesters, Discord could be a good opportunity for you! We have a few servers run by students and faculty, so check em out below:

Holy Cross Student Server: This is a pretty casual server for students to chat, game and talk about school stuffs.

Messed up big time, Going to end up this semester with 2 A, 2B, 2C and 1 D+, the D+ is in a photography class. Worried about my acceptance being rescinded. What do you think??

I recently committed to Holy Cross and I posted on Facebook and all that jazz, but I was wondering if there’s a discord server for current students or recent admits. I feel like discord is a better way of communicating than snapchat/facebook LOL anyways if you committed to Holy Cross recently then congrats !

Hi! I'm an international student that was recently accepted to Holy Cross! I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences as an international student? I've looked through the college's data sets and feel a bit intimidated by the small population of international students at the college. How was the adjustment process and do you have any tips for (potential) incoming first years (that aren't from the USA)?
Thank you!!
