We now have Notre Dame dining, so the food is now awesome. There are many clubs and events on campus, but you are also allowed to be in ND clubs if you want to so there is always something to do. The security is always on campus and will always pick up if you do not feel safe. We have newly renovated lounges that look amazing and are awesome! :-)

I enjoyed my time at HCC and learned quite a bit.

If you're looking for a smaller school, HCC is a great choice. Most professors are great, campus ministry is awesome, and it's easy to get as involved (or not involved) as you want. But if you want a bigger college feel, you'll be miserable. So be sure you know what you want.

I felt very at home at HCC, but I can totally understand how a smaller community might not be what every student is seeking in college. It was such a great feeling getting to know so many people around campus: professors, my advisor, dining hall staff, and security. HCC truly cares about setting the students up for success.

I recently transfered because the VP that 'everyone loves' is too 'handsy' always wants to hug, and too long and other things!! Campus close to downtown=a shooting a night. I was at class every day taking notes,etc, while people playing sports(especially Boys Basketball), can come to class whenever they want, and we get the same grades....WHAT!

Holy Cross College is still stuck in the 1800’s the people are all terrible and the faculty is worse. You will not feel herd and the school thinks “God” can save all the on campus rapists. DO NOT COME HERE! HCC IS A COMPLETE SCAM!

horrid
Overall 1.1
in the middle of nowhere in a dying boring city. No study abroad or any interesting programs, but there is campus ministry, is youre desperate. no social clubs and no broad range to really explore yourself. bland mono-culture of students. As many put it it is just like high school, but with 400 students. No parties and dead after the fall season.

This school is terrible. The teachers are all old "brothers of the Holy Cross" or stuck up women who want a real career but don't have the ambition. Good luck if you are thinking about attending. Oh and the dorm?...ya stay away from those. They have more rules than prisons. Amen.
Overall 1.2
Here at HCC there are many rapist and misogynistic assholes. Also most white have never seen a colored person so it is like living in a zoo. The dorms are absolutely garbage and have mold, dust, water damage, rats, ants, spiders etc. The Dean covers up title 9 cases and everyone here knows someone who abuses women or abuses animals. Don't come here

Actually kinda the worst

If you want to be treated like you're still in high school then come here. Nice faculty but the rules are too much. Dry campus so no parties and dorm rules are super strict.
