[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason is HC’s new President (first AA and first lay President) who is an excellent leader, strategist and administrator. Raising the College’s profile is a prime objective and he’s making it happen. Increasing the applicant pool nationally, and being less reliant on NE Catholic feeder schools. Becoming a Questibridge school a big plus. There was a time when HC was considered academically superior to Georgetown, never mind BC, which increased in popularity due to savvy sports marketing only in the late 1980s and 90s, not because of any genuine academic superiority. President Rougeau is bringing the school back to where it used to be. Worcester, which has come a long way since bottoming out in the 1980s, will never be Cambridge or Georgetown, but the campus is beautiful and self contained. And I’d argue it’s better than Waterville or Lewiston ME, or Hartford CT, or Poughkeepsie NY… the list goes on. Good hotel recommendation with the AC downtown, as well as restaurant recos. Plenty of very good restaurants on Shrewsbury St, and the Canal Districy is cool & funky. Worcester is 45 mins to Boston, and that much closer too to the Berkshires & Vermont. Route 494 also makes a trip to the Cape very turnkey, probably more so than from Boston crawling down Route 3.[/quote] Good to know. I'm old enough to remember when Holy Cross was the premier school in the "Catholic Ivy League." [/quote]
