Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Since we have a metro stop right on campus, a lot of students use it to get around the city. One tradition we have at CUA is the Rhode Island Challenge. When riding the red line back to campus there's a stop right before CUA's stop called Rhode Island Ave. The challenge is to hang from the overhead bars from the Rhode Island stop to the CUA stop without falling or touching the ground. Everyone tries it at least once. Some succeed and some fail but nonetheless its a lot of fun to do with your friends.

There's a vast amount of unique clubs and fun activities on campus. There's something for everyone.
