What are the popular events and traditions at Holy Cross College?

Events associated with Holy Cross College include Fall Fest, a Winter Formal, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day programming. They offer different kinds of participation: seasonal social gatherings and opportunities to engage with the history and continuing significance of King's work.

The schedule and format of recurring events can change from year to year. Students deciding whether to participate should use the current campus events calendar rather than assume that a past event's activities or date will repeat unchanged.

What are the student housing and dining options at Holy Cross College?

Holy Cross College offers college-operated undergraduate housing and campus dining options. Housing availability should not be mistaken for guaranteed placement, particularly for applicants making a decision after housing deadlines.

Prospective residents should compare the current residence options, contract dates, meal-plan terms, and any first-year housing rules before submitting a housing application. Residence facilities are reported to have high-speed internet access and electronically operated entrances. Commuters should check whether a meal plan is optional or whether they can pay for individual meals, while students considering off-campus housing should account for travel and parking as well as rent.
