[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My niece was lured to HC by a full ride and the promise of a 3-2 program where she could transfer to a top engineering program after three years.  I tried to talk her out of it as she had better options for engineering school, but she was stubborn and really thought she wanted a small, catholic school experience.  The 3-2 program turned out to be a bait-and-switch; very few students actually transfered to the engineering school and there were like 50 of them competing for 2-3 spots. I don't know why anyone would take this over a four-year, guaranteed enginering program.

She transfered out after one year. HC was VERY small, little to no diversity, little to no opportunities for clubs, ativities, etc.  Plus Wooster is a miserable town. She ended up at a much larger, highly-ranked state school and is so happy there.  Totally different experience for sure which goes to show that kids don't always know what they want at 18.  [/quote]
This has nothing to do with Holy Cross. Nobody should plan on a 3-2 engineering program. If you go to school in Worcester, just a few minutes from downtown, diversity is not a legit complaint. Anyhow, free ride poster, you sound…ungrateful for the free ride.[/quote]

HC is 66% white.  That’s who a student goes to class with every day.  [/quote]
