Admissions

Apply early decision. Get to know the professors, they are really wonderful.

make you take a tour, and attend the accepted students open house if you are accepted. also it's okay to come in undecided, about 51% of students do.

Tour the school, of course, to see what you think. Alumni is a beautiful building. If you are physically handicapped and need ramps and elevators, this is NOT the school for you....almost all of the buildings are not handicap accessible, at least not the dorms. Don't come here if you want diversity. Pretty much everybody here is white, upper middle class, from Massachusetts or NH, and Catholic/Christian. Visit if you want a small, traditional school that is established and has a rich history and cool haunted buildings like Alumni. Visit if you want to be more than just a number in your classes. If you're into politics or nursing, definitely come here. The political debates happen here every 4 years, and the nursing program is well known for being great.

make sure you know exactly what you're getting into. know what classes will be required of you and meet professors from your prospective major. keep in mind that it is a religious school focused on liberal arts, so class requirements will be different from the norm. live on campus!!! many classes require tons of library research (although the library has amazing online resources easily accessible from home) and group work.
