<p>Dear student20134 : The annual question comparing the “School on the Hill” vs. the “School in Chestnut Hill” has again come to the foreground. Before losing sleep over this question, recognize that both institutions will provide an excellent education. Now, let’s put some options on the table for you to consider :</p>
<p>[1] Location Relative to Boston
[2] Division I Sports
[3] Freshman Year Experience (Newton/Upper vs. Single Campus)
[4] Academics
[5] Specific Majors/Programs</p>
<p>Note that required_details added input to a similar discussion from a Holy Cross perspective in this 2011 discussion thread : </p>
