Hope College

“

Most of my best friends here live above or below me, so it's really fun being able to spend so much time with them. I also have a really great roommate, so just being in the room is a lot of fun.

I feel really stupid for asking this question, but what is the name of the Hope College Facebook page? I can't seem to find it.
Can't wait to meet you all!
