Right now I’m trying to decide between Rochester and holy cross and was wondering if anyone could chime in? Im leaning toward holy cross because they gave me a ton of aid and they’re kinda close to Boston, which is where I want to live. I haven’t received any aid notification yet for rochester.
Thanks!
I have a friend who went to HC and she looooooved it. She went to Columbia with me for grad school. She still hangs out with a lot of her HC friends!
Might be a good idea to wait until Rochester gets back to you about aid, but Holy Cross is a great choice.
Have you visited both? If so, then which one feels more “you?”
@Creekland
No, I never went to u of Rochester. I did go to holy cross and it was pretty great. I am a bit concerned about how tough I’ve heard holy cross is. Because I’d like to keep a good GPA (both of the two fields I want to go into -equity research and consulting-look at GPA a good deal).
@juillet could you ask your friend what makes the academics so hard? Ive been wondering that ever since I heard the academics are really challenging…
See if you can visit URoc… then you’d have a fair comparison.
Rochester’s airport is 10 minutes from campus. Cabs are something like $10 - 15. If desired, you can spend the night with a current student.
Holy Cross has a stronger reputation but both are solid choices
