Most Helpful Review for Catholic University of America

  • 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful

The classes here are small. The average class is about 18 people. So you really get to have a relationship with your teachers and they know you by name. The teachers are very helpful and make time to answer questions and make sure everything is clear. Although some of the required classes (Theology and Philosophy) don't interest me, i still learn a lot.

    CUA is a mid-sized, liberal-arts oriented university. Academics and Catholic values are highly valued here. There is also a surprising mix of personalities among the student body itself.

    Catholic University is a medium sized school with a intimate learning environments that allow healthy teacher-student relationships. Catholic is in close proximity to downtown DC (accessible via metro on campus) where there are countless restaurants, museums (free), and places to explore. There are also incredible internship opportunities available to students in the DC area, and Catholic has a great relationship with many.

    The Catholic University of America is in a vibrant international metropolis that offers everything. It is a warm and inviting environment that cares deeply about the intellectual, emotional, spiritual,and physical well-being of each student. The student will have a lot of fun and interesting activities while being challenged to excel-I can't recommend the experience enough!

    The campus is small and peaceful, yet it is also in the city, so there it has the best of both worlds. Food and housing are satisfactory, and students and staff are friendly. There are several opportunities to live out one's faith with masses, adoration, and service opportunities.

    Catholic is a really great school filled with a very friendly community. The courses are taught very well and most every teacher is also a professional in the degree in which they teach (e.g most architecture professors are licensed architects).

    At CUA it is easy to forget that you are attending school in a major world city. The class sizes are small and the professors work to help the students both in and outside the class room.

    Catholic University is a small private university in Washington D.C., with mostly liberal arts students. The campus is gorgeous, and with the right financial circumstances can be a great university. They have a wonderful politics department.
