College of the Holy Cross?

Would highly recommend HC based on interaction with its alums. In our full pay suburb several doctors-cardiologists/pulmonogists and the others are law partners very approachable prople.

^+1 Good school.

Here's someone always hyping HC on this board.

I'm an alum and agree it is a great school with a lot of great student outcomes. Given its small size, it may be harder to fit in if you're not Catholic. But for outgoing, nice, bright kids who appreciate the Jesuit environment it is a nice option (and one that isn't impossibly rejective from an admissions standpoint)

Good advice.

Holy Cross sells itself with its academic reputation and beautiful campus.

Comical that HC booster keeps trying to equate it to ND but with a better location...I'd rather be in South Bend, sorry.

You would be alone in desire to be in South Bend. Median home price in South Bend as of July is $187,000. In Worcester median home price is $435,000 same time period.

Are you dense? It has nothing to do with home values and everything to do with campus life. HC is a big yawn by comparison and both Worcester and South Bend access to major cities requires getting in a car and driving at least an hour.

If Notre Dame was in the SEC, it would be a mid level team.

Mileage from HC to Boston 45 miles, distance from ND to Chicago 95 miles big difference.

South Bend is a pit and Worcester Paris in comparison.

Paying 435k to live in Worcester is as stupid as paying 400k to go to BC. Neither is a responsible decision

I don’t know. Both my kids looked at HC and thought it was too small and limiting. One ended up at ND and loved it. The other is yet to apply to colleges and is undecided on whether she will apply to HC. Maybe as a safety. Her high school had like a 80% acceptance rate.

My kid didn’t go to South Bend for the location. He went for the education and overall campus experience. Some might prefer the more laid back and small campus of HC, but you can’t deny the ND has it over HC with campus life, academics, and athletics. There is no comparison.

Must be a lot of BC grads living in South Bend.
