WHY SHE CHOSE HOLY CROSS “From the moment I stepped on the campus I was intrigued with the beauty of the immaculate landscape and the ivy covered expansive brick buildings. I knew in my heart that this was the place where I wanted to study for the next four years. However, as I came to learn more about Holy Cross, I began to appreciate it for reasons that were beyond just the look of the campus itself. I loved the fact that the classes were small and intimate and that students had access to amazing resources and opportunities. Beyond just the educational aspect of the school I came to see that Holy Cross students were also a unique group. They were students who really cared about local and world issues, valued their educations, and were welcoming, accepting, and respectful of others. For these reasons, Holy Cross was my top choice school.”

ACTIVITIES “I am involved in Mock Trial and the College Choir, and I volunteer in the Admissions office where I give tours to prospective students.”

WHAT SHE’S MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO “I am very excited to experience the Crusader pride that is found here on the Hill by going to various sports events, especially football games! I am also looking forward to attending school-sponsored events like dances and concerts and meeting new friends. I just can’t wait to live the college life here at Holy Cross!”

WHY SHE’S BLOGGING “I really wanted to be a blogger because when I was a junior and senior in high school looking at Holy Cross, I found the blogs on the Admissions website to be one of the most educational and useful tools for finding out about the school. The students who posted the blogs were enthusiastic and friendly, which drew my interest and made me want to know more. I want to share everything that I do — every good, stressful, exciting, or rewarding event — with prospective Holy Cross students. Through my blog I hope to give students a real and honest look into life here on the Hill.”
