    Catholic charges a lot of money and sometimes I feel like the students get the short end of the stick. The food could be a lot better, the library just recently opened for 24 hours a day except on the weekends, the only place on campus to get coffee is Starbucks (limited hours on weekends), and the advisors in most of the majors are eh and many often don't help much at all.

    Let's face it, college is expensive. I am so happy here and I am learning a lot. I grew so much in my reasoning and my maturity in just one semester. And I didn't even know it was happening. My parents pointed it out to me. I was just learing and having fun - yes it was work, too, but it was fun, as well. Well worth the money.

    Though Catholic has a great community, both educational and social, it is a bit more expensive than one might want to care for.
