Academics

Alexandra (Ali) Larkin "18

HOMETOWN Greenwich, Conn.

STUDIES English and Religious Studies double major

WHY SHE CHOSE HOLY CROSS “My father went to Holy Cross and encouraged me to look here, and once I visited I fell in love! The English department had remarkable depth, and the professors really care about helping you find your style and subject in the literary world. Also, the classics department is  highly esteemed. The student body was friendly and fun, and put passion into everything they did.”

ACTIVITIES Sailing Club, Eta Sigma Phi (the national classics honor society), The Crusader, Parnassus (editor)

WHAT SHE’S MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO “Diverse academics, meeting people who have similar interests, and focusing on what I love to do.”

WHY SHE’S BLOGGING “I'm blogging because I love to write and share my experiences with others. In addition, these blogs were part of the reason I chose Holy Cross, so I'm looking to help others in the same way.”
