The only similarity between the two schools are the "priviledged" students and alumni who truly believe they are the best of the best in the country. I have two good friends who attend BC and they feel the same way I do in regards to the attitudes of people who go to school there. They truly believe they are better than others simply because they attend a historic private school. The same goes for Holy Cross, only worse. This is why I could never understand the Holy Cross fascination. It is a school that is the complete opposite of UND, and one whose students probably have a very low opinion of society in the Upper Mid-West. If one thinks that people in the Minneapolis area have the misinformed view of Grand forks being hickville, just think what people who pay $32,000+ a year to attend Holy Cross think of the area. Of course, this is a completely stereotypical analysis, and I'm sure there are many people who don't fit this description at both schools.
