Which college is academically better, Providence College or Holy Cross?

Answer 1

Both of these schools are highly respected, but they are both kind of second level schools behind their more famous cousin schools like Boston College, Georgetown or Notre Dame.

You will get a good education at either one of these schools. I personally would tend to favor PC over Holy Cross because PC is in a nicer city with more going on (in Providence there are six other colleges full of students to meet including Ivy League Brown), but there is really little to choose between them.

Try to visit them before you decide.

Answer 2

I would guess that academically they are equals, but I think Holy Cross has a better name... but that's just my guess.... bless you, take care, Rick
