This summer, I jumped at any chance to drive the hour and ten minutes to Holland from my hometown. I love Holland. Downtown Holland so perfectly matches the things I always envied about the small town Stars Hollow in the show. In spring, tulips bloom up and down the main street. Luckily, Holland excels in this department.

One of my biggest concerns when moving to the United States for college had to do with living in Holland, Michigan. I have actually, in moments when I have left Holland for breaks, found myself looking forward to the distinct pace it provides. In larger cities or college towns, it is a bit too easy to disappear into anonymity.

Last spring, the end of my freshman year, I dedicated a page in my journal to all my favorite things about Hope College. 2: Physical Atmosphere The physical atmosphere of Hope College, Holland, and Lake Michigan are all things I love about this place I call home. This level of investment is such a blessing. Big or small?

As an international student, it is hard to believe that a city kid like me would be going to a small town of Holland, Michigan, for college. The Philippines is 12 hours ahead of Holland, which meant that all of my classes were in the middle of the night during the pandemic. First day at Hope College in Spring 2021.

Last week, I saw some students were throwing a football in the Pine Grove. Such is life in Holland, Michigan. For those out of state who may be unfamiliar, Michigan gets the best of every type of weather, multiple times a year. Holland is experiencing a genuine blizzard. Love Michigan. It was 20 degrees out.

From last-minute runs to watch the sunset over Lake Michigan to a quick beach day on a rare, hot September or October day, the beach is one of the places where students can escape the pressures of everyday life and refresh. Growing up in Petoskey, Michigan, I am truly a lake town girl at heart.
