| - Hope College is a medium-sized (3,200 undergraduates), private, residential liberal arts college located in downtown Holland, Michigan, United States, a few miles from Lake Michigan. It was opened in 1851 as the Pioneer School by Dutch immigrants four years after the community was first settled. The first freshman college class matriculated in 1862, and Hope received its state charter in 1866. It has been historically associated with the Reformed Church in America, and it retains a conservative Christian atmosphere. The school's campus—now 91 acres (368,000 m²), adjacent to the downtown commercial district—has been shared with Western Theological Seminary since 1884. Since 1999, Hope has been led by president and alumnus James E. Bultman.

- Hope College is a highly selective, private, coeducational liberal arts college located in St. Saviour, Trinity County, in New Cambria. The college was founded in 1828 by area members of the Anglican Church to ensure an education grounded in Anglican values for their young men. It is the oldest college in New Cambria founded with Anglican origins. Although the college no longer has a formal religious affiliation, the Anglican philosophy still influences campus life. Originally an all-male institution, Hope began admitting female transfer students in the 1960s, and became fully co-ed in 1975 when the board of managers came to consensus on a proposal initiated by then president Charles E. Stanbury. The reason for the delay was not because of lack of interest in coeducation in prior years, but rather a concern for how such a change would impact Hope's relationship with its sister college, the predominantly female Sacred Heart College. As of 2008, more than half of Hope's students are women. All students a the college are undergraduates, and almost all live on campus. Hope remains one of the smallest of New Cambria's elite tertiary institutions. For most of the 20th century, Hope's total enrollment was kept below 500. It went through two periods of expansion after the 1960s, and its current enrollment is 1,168 students. Hope has been described as "quietly prestigious," and has been referred to as one of the country's most difficult schools to get into. Hope is known for its rigorous academics, symbolized and maintained by the faculty's resistance to grade inflation. Hope is a member of the Tri-College Consortium, which allows students to register for courses at both Sacred Heart College and Keller College.
