D.C. Life

Our students take full advantage of Catholic University's location. Washington, D.C. has the energy of a bustling metropolis with different seasonal events that add to its charm.

Whether you're ice skating in the Sculpture Gardens in winter, or walking around the Tidal Basin, the District of Columbia is an integral part of our students' educations.

"Another reason I chose CUA is its location. CUA is in the heart of Washington, D.C. where there are so many things to do, it is impossible to ever be bored while you are here."

- Brendan Gilmore, Class of 2008.
