Why I chose Holy Cross: I chose to attend Holy Cross because I knew I wanted to attend a liberal arts college.
What I love about Mount St. James: What I love most about Mount St. James is experiencing all the seasons in New England! Especially the Fall, because all of the foliage across campus – It’s so beautiful (the ivy is the best)!
My favorite thing about Worcester: My favorite thing about Worcester are all the hidden food gems across the city. I especially love going to Worcester Public Market (Momo’s Palace has the best dumplings)!
My favorite HC tradition: My favorite HC tradition has to be Spring Weekend! It’s a great time to de-stress with friends and celebrate the end of the academic year with a variety of fun activities.
Advice for your college search: My best advice for starting your college search is to research schools that align with your interests and ambitions. Then take a few tours and narrow them down from there!
What I love about the Holy Cross community: I love how welcoming the Holy Cross community is. From faculty, to staff, and to students, everyone is always so eager to help in any way they can.
