Why I love Hope

Two things drew Mary to Hope College:

1. The people here make this place special, at every level — from the administration to faculty, staff and students. People are excited to be at Hope and they provide a great energy and sense of belonging here.
2. Mary was also drawn to Hope's commitment to excellence. Hope wants to offer the best environment and experiences to students in multiple facets of their lives. There’s a lot of pride in doing things well here, and in preparing our students for life after Hope, where they will be engaged in making an impact on those around them.
