Catholic University of America Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is the surrounding area, there are some parts that are not safe at all to go.

some of the food staff is not friendly

Sometimes it seems as though the school is very small, and it is different than larger, state schools that have the large sports teams and have that kind of atmosphere on their campus. The school does lack diversity because it is a private institution so many of the students are from the same or very similar socio-economic backgrounds, which is nice in some cases but detrimental in others. It is also very expensive and can be hard to finance.

CUA gets a bad rap for not being as liberal as other schools in the area, but I dont think thats a negative really. The environment is embracing, regardless of creed, sexual orientation, or political leanings. There is a good amount of diversity, but I think the "Catholic" connotation turns away some students from even considering the choice.

the paperwork

the food in the upstairs dining hall , its gross

The surrounding neighborhood is not incredibly safe.

The food is absolutely repulsive, brought to us by none other than the infamous prison catering company, Aramark. Students can not think on this food. It passes through your system in a matter of minutes, taking chunks out of you along the way. Students complain of constant stomach pain, fatigue, and illness related to the intolerable quality of the food. If the administration was truly attempting to convey the Catholic message to its student body, they would do better to be concerned with out health rather than which dormitory has internet access.
