<p>Which is a better school? Prestige, Academic, & value.</p>
<p>Holy Cross is ranked slightly higher at #32 versus #38 for Lafayette. That said they are so similar in size and academics and costs that they are virtually indistinguishable. If you are Catholic and from New England/NY you would go to HC. If from PA or NJ you go to Lafayette. HC has arguably better location being 40 miles from Boston and Providence with free shuttle service to both. Lafayette is over 70 miles to Philly and NYC.</p>
