This university takes education seriously, but also manages to be very student-friendly. The small size allows for strong community bonds, and the location in the middle of the city is very convenient for all endeavors. The university sticks to its title of Catholic, and offers a strongly orthodox education and community.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are looking for a strongly orthodox Roman Catholic school, this is the one. Just be sure before you apply that they offer the field of study you are interested in. As the student population is relatively small, so is the diversity of their academic offerings.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The university is dedicated to quality education, especially in their English and Philosophy departments. If a student is considering this university, he or she should be a dedicated and punctual individual.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
While many of the dorms were built more than 50 years ago, they have been refurbished recently. The community is great, and the university puts in a lot of effort to ensure this.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
This university is unique in that it offers an unlimited meal plan, which includes $100 per semester for purchases from the campus Starbucks. The cafeteria has long hours, and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The university offers a wide range of student organizations. Campus Ministry offers many religious organizations and service opportunities. The university is located in what is called Little Rome, because there are several Catholic institutions surrounding the area, including the National Shrine (which itself is a day-long endeavor). There is a Metro station on campus, so the rest of the DC area is easily accessible from the university.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The university provides for its students. The cost is shocking to an entering freshman, but once you get to campus and start experiencing student life, you realize just why you paid that much.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is located practically on campus. It is the largest Church in the United States, with an upper and lower level, and contains more than 100 shrines dedicated to countries around the world.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This university is great for Politics, English, Classical, and Philosophy majors, among others. Students should be dedicated to their education. While this university is attended and enjoyed by students from all belief systems, if you are Catholic (Roman or Eastern), there are a lot of fun, religion-based activities for you to enjoy and several opportunities for daily Mass.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The university has a wide offering of clubs in relation to the size of the student body--from the CUAnime club to the Rowing club, Philosophy club and Book club, and several service-based organizations.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Although the university is located in an underprivileged area, many students call our campus the bubble, because our campus police are so dedicated. Students can feel safe and secure, and experience very few emergency situations during their college career.
