Both great schools. While Hamilton is a bit more competitive for admission, I don’t think you’d find a meaningful difference in the academic experience (esp. for Economics and Political Science) or post graduate possibilities. Assuming you’ve visited both, you’d know that Hamilton is going to have a more rural feel, while Holy Cross has more of a suburban/small city feel. It’s also only an hour away from Boston. Hamilton has a Greek option, while Holy Cross has no Greek system. And of course D1 sports vs D3, and Jesuit vs secular. So I think your decision will come down to those four factors, as well as cost. What feels more like “home” to you? But truthfully, you can’t go wrong with either, so congratulations and best of luck!
