It’s time to meet Tess. Tess embodies Catholic U’s DC advantage. Washington DC isn’t just a political hub. It also has an amazing art scene perfect for students like Tess, a musical theater major with a politics minor. She came to Catholic U because it offers the best of both worlds, big city opportunities with small school community. You’re on, Tess.

– Thanks, Alex. When I was looking for a school, I knew I wanted to be in a big city, but I didn’t wanna give up on having that true college campus experience. I was immediately drawn to DC for its incredible opportunities in the performing arts. The Catholic University of America was able to offer the perfect blend of a big city school, while still offering that true campus community. Catholic U encourages students to pursue different interests while on campus, including things outside of their major. As a musical theater major, I have been able to really grow as a performer, while still being able to be involved in a number of clubs and student organizations on campus. Being in DC has also inspired me to pursue a minor in politics. I have loved focusing on US politics, and learning more about the policies and people who have an effect on my day-to-day life. With direct access to the nation’s capital, we as students get to watch history happen. Catholic University values hands-on practical learning, which gives students the opportunity to learn from and even participate in current DC politics. DC has so much to offer when it comes to opportunities for internships, cultural experiences, and just fun adventures. Going to museums, concerts, baseball games, and restaurants all around the city have been some of the highlights of my college experience. We even have our own metro stop, Brookland-Catholic University, making it even easier to get around the city. Catholic University has prepared me for the world after college. I’ve grown as a performer, and discovered a new academic passion. As I enter my final year here at Catholic U, I now have the skills and experience to really succeed in whatever path I choose. Back to you, Alex.

Wow, Tess. You’ve really made DC sound like an awesome city for a college student. Catholic University students get to experience the professional opportunities and entertainment offerings of the nation’s capital, all while being part of a friendly campus they can call home. Take care.
