The Princeton Review's Guide to 311 Green Colleges
The Catholic University of America is one of the most environmentally responsible colleges in the United States and Canada, according to The Princeton Review.
"I chose Catholic University for its location and campus community. It’s the best of both worlds, being in Washington, DC and still having a beautiful college campus. I also love how CUA has such a welcoming community. From the first time I set foot on campus I knew this was where I was meant to be."
