This is Hope College.
Is Hope on your list of colleges to consider in the coming year? If not, it should be! And it all starts with our beautiful campus in downtown Holland, Michigan. Take a look.
Holland, Our Home
Wait, isn’t Holland a country in Europe? Yes, it is. It definitely is. But Holland is also a charming beach town on the shores of Lake Michigan, about 30 minutes from Grand Rapids and two hours north of Chicago.
The very same Dutch settlers who founded the city also chartered Hope College. We’re proud to call Holland home, and our students love walking our heated sidewalks to nearby 8th Street for good coffee, window shopping, and fun dinners out with friends.
Jump in the car (yes, freshmen can have them) and you’ll be at the beaches of Lake Michigan in 15 minutes or less. You’re going to love living here.
