Catholic has a great sense of community, there is a constant feeling of support and interest as a student. The academics are challenging, yet manageable. The faculty and student body is extremely welcoming and there is always aid available for whatever issues or troubles you might experience.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved!
I know that is what everyone, literally everyone says, but by joining a club sport and committees I have met some of my closest friends. It really expands your social and academic circles.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
They ARE going to push you. It will be challenging. It will get tough. However, it is possible. Teachers, study groups, and peers will always be there for help.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I enjoy living on campus in the dorm. Being so far from home the people you live with become family. Living with people exposes you to so many new things. I feel safe and secure and actually, communal bathrooms are NOT the worst thing I have had to deal with.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are plenty of options for food. While some options become your favorite meals and others might be unidentifiable it isn't the worst thing you will ever ingest. If you can't handle those options there is always the cafeteria and student restaurant. AND, now Potbelly located across the street from campus. I promise you will not starve.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
It is DC. The Capitol of the country. If you find no interest in the multitude of events the school hosts almost daily then jump on the metro and go explore the city. If you are bored, it is your own fault. There is ALWAYS something to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
College costs an arm and a leg. However, being here has done nothing but brought out the best in me and help me discover myself. I absolutely love it and I think I am making the experience worth every penny.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
When I want to study I like to explore the buildings on campus for study areas, I seem to be able to find a new bubble every now and then.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students that want to work, learn, explore, and really get something out of college.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
SO MANY OPTIONS. Not one of my friends is not involved in some club, sport or groups. It is a great way to meet people.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
It is present on campus. I'm not involved and do not know much about the process of life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
DPS security is always seen driving around campus. Always willing to give an escort to those who feel unsafe and the security guards at the doors of the dorms gives a real sense of safety and security.
