Easy Street
Easy Street is the flattest stretch of campus. It connects the main residence halls of upper campus, and acts as a common hallway. In nice weather, you'll find students relaxing outdoors, studying in the common spaces between buildings, or tossing a ball around, while more wintery weather invites sledding down the hills.

🎪🎈 Fun on Easy Street
Easy Street hosts many traditional student events, like the annual Spring Weekend Easy Street Fair.
🚙 Move-in Day!
Move-In Day is a beloved tradition at Holy Cross. At the start of each school year a purple crew of current student, alumni, faculty and staff volunteers welcome brand-new Crusaders to Mount St. James. As families arrive, they are welcomed with loud cheering, band music and bright smiles. As they arrive on Easy Street, belongings are unloaded and moved to dorm rooms by this energetic group.
✨ Residence Life From Day One
Your residence hall will be your home away from home. At Holy Cross, all first-year students live on campus and participate in our unique Montserrat living/learning program. More than 88 percent of our students live on campus, which means that the residence halls are central to the lives of students. Each of our 11 coed residence halls features comfortable, fully networked spaces. Student resident assistants develop a culture of belonging through various activities, such as field trips to Boston and outdoor barbecues.
