University of Holy Cross

What are the popular events and traditions at University of Holy Cross?

University of Holy Cross's Catholic heritage and New Orleans location provide context for campus gatherings, but a particular celebration should not be assumed to occur every year. The current student activities and academic calendars are the best guides to events in a student's enrollment term.

Applicants interested in traditions can look for university-sponsored religious observances, student performances, academic ceremonies and community-service activities on those calendars. Attending an event can be a practical way to meet peers at a campus without undergraduate residence halls; the date, format and eligibility for participation should be checked for each event.

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

University of Holy Cross does not report college-owned or college-operated undergraduate housing. A student planning to attend in person should therefore arrange housing independently and budget for transportation to the Algiers campus.

Applicants should not interpret a generic room-and-board estimate in a cost database as the price of a Holy Cross residence hall or meal plan. Before signing an off-campus lease, students should consider the route to campus, the hours of any required clinical or field placement, and the full cost of rent, utilities and food. For meals during the campus day, check current on-site options and operating hours rather than assume that a residential dining plan is available.
