Welcome to your new home at Catholic University in Washington D.C. As you prepare to make The Catholic University your home away from home, please know we are here to support you every step of the way.
We understand it is not an easy decision to move thousands of miles away from your family and loved ones, but we are excited you will be joining us on our beautiful residential campus and in our small, welcoming community. As you prepare to transition from high school abroad to Catholic University, you and your parent’s questions will be most welcome. Feel free to contact Haydee Lopez Perez at any time.
