Hey guys, I'm super interested in Holy Cross and I was wondering if existing students could help me out. Anyone got any tips on how I can connect with current students to have a firsthand feel of the environment and student life?
Sure, direct contact with current students at Holy Cross is a fantastic idea to gain insight into the college and its environment. Here's an outline of what you could do:
1. Reach Out through Social Media: Many colleges, including Holy Cross, have groups on social media platforms like Facebook for incoming and existing students. These are often welcoming communities where prospective students can interact with current ones. Don't be hesitant to ask your questions or initiate a conversation.
2. Attend Virtual Events: Check out Holy Cross's website for upcoming virtual events where current students are attending or hosting. These could be webinars, student panels, or even virtual tours. Often at these events, you might have a chance to connect with students and ask them about their experiences.
3. Contact Admissions: The admissions office at Holy Cross could possibly connect you with a student ambassador. Student ambassadors usually work closely with the Admissions department to give tours, help with events, or speak with prospective students. You can send an email to the Admissions Office expressing your desire to speak with a student.
4. Join Clubs or Organizations: If you have specific extracurricular interests, look into related clubs or organizations at Holy Cross. Club websites or social media pages often provide contact details of club members. Don't hesitate to reach out to them and express your interest in the club and the school.
5. Alumni Networks: While they're not current Holy Cross students, reaching out to recent graduates can also provide valuable insight. LinkedIn can be a great place to find and connect with Holy Cross alumni.
Remember to be respectful, professional, and genuine when you reach out. Most students love their schools and should be happy to discuss their experiences with you. Good luck!
