Daniel - 08/28/2020

The University of Holy Cross as a whole is a institution that I could recommend to others for furthering their education. Is there things that could be adjusted? Of course, like many other Universities changes could be made for the betterment of the experience of incoming students. The Counseling Department gives off the energy as though you're family and they take care of the needs of their students.

I will currently attend Holy Cross this fall. It’s a private school. It’s super small which is good so you can focus better. There are tons of people who can help. The environment is safe.
