Holy Cross is expensive but I'm finding it to be a really great experience. I'm in my third year.

Holy Cross recently came in 2nd in the nation via a survey done by alumni on their college experiences. Holy Cross alum still love the school. The network is out of this world. The community at HC is so warm and welcoming, I haven't met a single person that wants to transfer yet.

Holy Cross provides a top notch education that will help build the skills necessary to excel in just about any job. In addition, many Holy Cross students are admitted to top notch graduate, Medical or Law schools. Holy Cross also has a large network of alumnae who often hire fellow Holy Cross graduate. Career planning services is a great resource for student and graduates who are seeking help finding job placement.

This is interesting because Holy Cross is just so expensive that it is just unbelievable. Other schools are less expensive and just as good with academic ranking. A College should not cost the amount Holy Cross costs. The 2009-2010 tuition was about $50,400 and now its about $55,200. However, the school does give families financial aid which is great. Holy Cross does try to help families that are in need. Newsweek magazine ranked Holy Cross 5th in Return on Investment among colleges and universities in America in 2011. So basically, you can end up getting a good job or going to a good graduate school, etc. after graduation or down the road.

Holy Cross is one of the few schools to provide 100% of financial need for all of its students. This was especially helpful for me, seeing as I received a $40,000 yearly need-based grant from the school. Furthermore, the average graduate will eventually make a six figure salary which makes it worth the cost.
