Hi Guys! My name is Joe and I will be showing you guys around the College of the Holy Cross! I will be showing you guys everything, from the campus to the party scene. I will not hold back I will give you guys what I love about HC and what I don't love. I love my school but I want to make sure that HC is the place for you so I will be honest about everything. I hope you guys enjoy!!

Hogan Campus Center is the main student center at HC. Hogan holds Cool Beans (our main coffee shop), Crossroads and The Pub (Our Grill and Sandwich Shop), a barber shop, ATMS, our bookstore, Career Center, Radio Station, Our Ballroom, basically all our student needs are in Hogan. People come here to hang out, have lunch, do homework, etc. It's a great place to meet your friends and just chill!

Welcome to Kimball Quad! One of our three main quads on campus! It is in between Alumni and Carlin Halls and is in front of Kimball Dining Hall. A lot of major school-sponsored events such as our 175th-anniversary celebration and our fall harvest festival are celebrated on Kimball Quad.

The fieldhouse is the common rec center for students. We have the Hart center which is our main athletic center but only division 1 athletes are allowed to use it. So for nonathletes, we have the fieldhouse. The Fieldhouse holds a gym, an indoor track, and a basketball court. We are redoing the fieldhouse so a new common rec center is in the works but for right now this our rec center.

The Hoval is our main quad on campus! A lot of our student-run events take place on the Hoval. Our pep rally was held on the Hoval, Food Truck Fridays where various food trucks serve free food are held on the Hoval, our spring concert is held on the Hoval, and even movies are shown on the Hoval sometimes! The Hoval is probably the outdoor center of student life here on campus.

Now I'll be showing you guys the dreaded communal bathrooms. All first-year student dorms have communal bathrooms so there is no escaping that. You're seeing this bathroom at its worst. So don't worry, its usually not that messy!

Meet Adam! Another First-Year Student. Here he discusses his transition to college, his classroom experience, and what he loves and hates about Holy Cross.

Welcome to Hanselman! My home sweet home for the year. Here I'm showing you guys my dorm. My dorm is a typical first-year student dorm, there is not much differentiation between the different halls. I apologize for the mess!

Dinand is our main library here on campus. At Dinand we offer a wide array of services from Writers workshop to Tutoring. It is a beautiful facility for students to study, work on papers, do homework or just crack open a book. It's open until 2AM Sunday through Thursday, and on Friday and Saturday it closes at 11PM.

Memorial Plaza is one of our quieter places on campus. Not much goes on here but I still think it's worth showing you guys because of how beautiful it is. A lot of students come here to study or eat lunch. It is a beautiful dedication to the Holy Cross alumni whose lives were lost in the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Campion House holds the offices of our Class Chaplains. We are a Catholic school and most of our chaplains are Catholic but we do not exclude anyone from making appointments or visiting Campion. Campion is open for Students to relax, eat a freshly baked cookie, or study. It's a great place to take a breather and start a conversation either with a chaplain or a fellow student at Campion.

Fitton Football Stadium is our football stadium at Holy Cross. All our home games take place here. A lot of home games come with tailgates in Freshman Field. Our football seasons runs from the beginning of the fall semester till the middle of November. Most students will not go to away games unless it is a big game, such as the BC Holy Cross game.
