@LC919 Son was waitlisted at HC but admitted to Trinity. We can’t consider HC because for waitlist they only give federal aid (loans) and that won’t cut it. However, I do know that my son prefer Holy Cross campus to Trinity’s ( I liked them both for different reasons). He liked the location in Worcester (family from Worcester) better than Hartford. The only thing about HC he liked less was the single sex dorm room floors and being locked out of every floor but his own and having to petition the dean (?) for overnight visitors from other colleges. He’s more liberal than that. He may have chose HC over Trinity if those were his only choices, but I can’t say. I’m just repeating his feelings after touring an interviewing at each college. (PS he is Catholic so the Catholic aspect does not bother him and HC seemed pretty welcoming of all faiths)
