, Less is more Large colleges and universities can be impersonal and intimidating. Students often find themselves in classes in the hundreds and taught by inexperienced graduate assistants. Some students are lucky to ever speak with their professor. At Holy Cross College, the opposite is true. Students receive the highest level of personal attention from our dedicated, caring faculty. Classes are small and intimate. After one or two years of one-on-one preparation, most students transfer to colleges and universities like Indiana, Saint Mary’s, Notre Dame and Purdue. If you’re considering transferring from a large university or looking for a chance to begin at a small college, contact us at 574-239-8400 or www.hcc-nd.edu Applications are now being accepted. You'll find that when it comes to your education, “less is more"

The* stink'llt/fai iilt\ ratio at I Inly Cross College is 12:1.
