Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
Considering they are a private Catholic college they are probably the most bang for the buck. You get the Catholic liberal arts education for a cheap price, but not only that but you get to enjoy the benefits of the University of Notre Dame right across the street. If you are a fan of college sports you get a discount on a Division I University athletic games. Also some of the games are even free for you. One sport in particular that is free is Notre Dame hockey. They were number one in the nation last year, and being able to go to their games and see them play for no cost at all is a great benefit. Also you get countless other opportunities that you can take advantage of for little or no cost to you. Another interesting detail to mention about the school is that they allow you to take one class for free at one of the surrounding colleges in the area. Saint Marys in particular is just next door and they offer one of the best catholic educations for women in the nation. Plus if your a guy its an all girl school so you can potentially make new friends as well. There is also this thing that the college does called the international experience. It allows a student to go to either Peru, Mexico, India, or Ghana and experience what the Holy Cross experience is like. The cool thing about the trip is that it is included in your tuition so you don't have to worry about additional costs to go. Everyone goes and enjoys it.

Holy Cross College is on a tuition lock. So, if you attend, you are locked in for all four years. You get that big university feel without the hassle.
Vincent from South Bend, IN
My education at Holy Cross was worth every penny and I would not trade it for anything.
