Size

<p>Toured the school and loved it. Great campus, nice people, top academics. My only concern about HC is the size and town surrounding campus. I'm worried that the campus maybe isolated and 2800 students is the size of a large high school. It looks like they have a high retention rate which is encouraging but unsure if I shouldn't look for a bigger place. Do the students love being there?</p>

<p>Well I’m an incomming freshman so I can’t speak from direct experience, but all the people I talked to seemed to like the small size and Worchester isn’t nearly as bad as people sometimes say it is; it’s not Boston, but it has some good parts. The school provdies shuttles to Boston and Providence every weekend so it’s not like it’s super hard to get off campus.</p>

<p>The alumni also seem to love HC. They are in the top ten of all colleges for alumni giving rate at 55.1% of all alumni participating.</p>
