College Visits
Keep in mind that many colleges will come by school during the school year to pass out information and to answer questions about their college or university. This is a great opportunity to become familiar with different schools and to decide which school you may want to visit or apply to in the future.
We will let you know ahead of time when a school is coming to Holy Cross. Usually representatives come during enrichment or lunch. If they are scheduled during enrichment period, you will need to plan on meeting in the Schaefer house at that time. We will call you over the PA to come meet with the representative.
