The College of the Holy Cross is a highly selective private Jesuit liberal arts college in Worcester, Massachusetts, known for strong programs in economics, political science, psychology, biology, and the liberal arts plus a close‑knit residential campus and Division I athletics. Students often rave about the strong sense of community, small classes, active campus events, and the hilltop campus that feels like a cohesive, human‑scale college bubble.
Common Majors

“I love Holy Cross’s tight‑knit, residential campus, how every class feels like a real conversation and everyone knows each other, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the pressure to always be ‘on,’ the limited off‑campus options, and the way the isolated‑hilltop setting can make it hard to fully escape the college bubble were all more intense than the tour ever showed.”
