Why Holy Cross?

<p>I'd love to know any insider information on the College of the Holy Cross! What's the party scene like? Do athletic events play a major party? Friendliness of student body?</p>

<p>Big drinking school as it traditionally was a college filled with Irish immigrants and the legacy lives on. Athletics were huge at one time but have tapered off with their move to the low key academically focused Patriot League but men’s basketball still attracts a loyal enthusiastic following. They have 25 division 1 sports programs which is huge for a school of less than 3000. Student body is quite friendly and close knit since 95% live on the hilltop campus.</p>
