Catholic is a small college with decent academics and plenty of friendly people. It's lots of fun in D.C. and on campus. Both faith and party lifestyles are very active here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Check out the program you want to be involved in and make sure to ask about it if you visit campus. Also, visit campus!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes vary but are definitely do-able as long as you keep up with the work. Very small class sizes so it is easy to form relationships with your teachers. Don't expect to be skipping class everyday because most take attendance.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorms are all single sex, but have really great community. Security in the traditional style dorms is pretty strict and all visitors have to be signed in after around 4 o'clock. The suite style living in Centennial Village is nice, but the traditional dorm buildings are nicer style wise.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food in the student restaurant is not the greatest but plentiful. It's also very repetitive but open late. Breakfast is the best meal because there's lots of fresh fruit and made to order omelets.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Learn how to navigate the Metro and take advantage of being in D.C. to explore all that the city has to offer. Make sure to become active on campus and participate because it will help you stay in the loop. There are plenty of fun things to do both on campus and off.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
My experience has been very personalized and I feel like the school cares about my success. The community is wonderful and I come out of class everyday feeling like I have learned and one step closer to my chosen career!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
It seems like there's something for everyone here! Plenty of clubs and organizations to join and there's always several events going on on campus.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus is super safe, just be careful about wandering into the surrounding neighborhood at night, this is Washington D.C. and it can be dangerous.
