Hey there,

If you’re a sophomore at Wooster, you can apply for a “sophomore research assistant” position. It’s a paid job. You work with a professor who directs your research. Might be lab work. Might be library/online work, etc. It’s at least a couple hours a week, or, if it’s a summer job, more hours.

Summer abroad – lots of first-semester juniors are abroad. Many, many. All over the world. The college can give you more info on this.

Social life – The good thing is that you have a lot of choices. It’s not a “Greek” campus, but you can do a sorority or fraternity if you’d like. Lots of program houses – students who live together and do community service – have weekend parties. Plenty of clubs and intramural sports. Also, the college sponsors all-campus concerts and festivals. It’s not a suitcase college since most students live some distance from their hometowns.

I can’t remember your other question. Anyway, good luck with your decision. I don’t know much about Hope College, sorry.
