HC is easily a top 15-20 SLAC with one of the top 5 alumni networks. Go Crusaders!

University of Washington in Seattle is another purple school.

For a Jesuit school can’t beat the name Holy Cross.

Now that’s crazy talk. ND has the best alumni network of any school in the country. And I am including Ivies and SLACs.

HC alumni network is not better than ND. In fact it isn't better than 28 other universities and LACs, including Colby, Swarthmore, Hamilton, Middlebury, Bates, Carleton, Smith, Amherst. The PP's delusion continues with all these bizarre claims. https://www.collegeconsensus.com/rankings/best-college-alumni-networks/

Only Amherst has as high alumni annual giving rate comparable to HC.

Giving rate is not the only measure of a strong network. And how is giving rate measured?

Bates is a dstant 3rd in Maine alone. Not even close to Bowdoin or HC.

Holy Cross checks a lot of boxes for families looking for good outcomes. Normal outgoing social kid vibe.

So wrong. Bates is well above HC, not even in the same league.

The HC booster in here needs to get some self esteem. It's a good school, a very good school even, but there are many in New England that have more prestige. Can't you leave it at that?

[Anonymous]

The HC booster is so insecure, it's embarassing.

Bates is a woke school with tiny endowment less than $450 million in 2024 much smaller than Bowdoin, Colby, and Holy Cross. It has a very liberal vibe nothing like the other 3. Know a few Colby grads and not much overlap with Bates. Amazing that Bates does not have men’s or women’s varsity hockey especially for a Maine school.

Holy Cross has more prestige can’t think of one famous Bates grad. Bowdoin>Colby/Holy Cross>Bates.
