I believe anyone could attend this school, there is a diverse range of studies and DC is a great city. An example of the fantastic studies is the architechture program, which is one of the best in the country. It is also affiliated with the Vatacan, so this university is perfect for anyone interested in religious life.

The location. Washington DC is a great place to be a young person. There is always something to do in the city. Someone who has pleanty of money, and likes to go to bars would be very happpy here.

Christopher

People who are spiritually devout and interested in fostering their religious faith through academic studies while also helping others should attend this school. The Catholic Unversity of America has a lot to offer in that respect; its programs and agenda strongly promote reaching out to and beyond the borders of the Washington D.C. community, often offering tutition money in exchange for anything from teaching children to going on mission trips to foreign regions. Here, just as much emphasis is put on self-improvement and spiritual growth as it is on academic development.

Meaghan

conservatives are in abundance and moderates tend to fit in pretty well. The school is a big irish catholic school so rugby is a huge sport, as is st. patricks day. there is a fair amount of drinking by students but it isn't something that everyone does or is pressured to do. community service and volunteering is big here. A lot of students take a year off after to do service (peace corps, teach for america, other catholic service missions).

Someone open to Catholic references for theos/philos. People who like the d.c. area and couldn't get into or afford gtown or gw. Christians, gays, theatre majors, jocks, all have a place here. . This is suprisingly a very accpeting and worthwhile school to anyone who can afford it.

The other 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} wouldn't trade for anywhere else in the world.
