The People You Meet

In the Swing of Things!
I can hardly believe it, but another semester is underway. Almost two full weeks of classes are in the books, and homework is piling up. However, being back at Hope is proving to be quite blessing!

What College Seniors DON’T Want To Hear
Yep, unfortunately/fortunately it’s my senior year here at Hope College. Before starting school, I was so stoked and am already looking forward to graduation (May 3rd). I even had a countdown for graduation. But since starting my final year of undergraduate studies, I realized I am not ready AT ALL. I’ve been pounded with questions, …

A New Beginning
The first week of my junior year is over! Before this year started, I already felt that this was going to be a tough year. This is my schedule for this semester: The number of the courses is not really too bad; all of these classes are very hard and have a lot of assignments. …
From the Freshmen: WHY HOPE?
Since I am an RA in Dykstra, I get to interact with a lot of freshmen. I thought it would be fun to hear all their reasons for choosing Hope! Here’s what they had to say! “I decided to come to Hope because it’s small and it’s really important to me to have good relationships …
