<p>In my search of BME unis, I came across Catholic University. It is located in the DC area, which is appealing to my son, and it is, obviously, a Catholic university, though not a Jesuit one. </p>
<p>It does have an accredited BME program. </p>
<p>Is anyone familiar with this school's engineering or computer science programs, or its campus life? Are there dorms available for students or is there a shortage? This would be important, as housing in DC is quite pricey. Also, DC is supposed to be not too safe, so would rather son live on campus while there.</p>
<p>Hoping to get some input on this school.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>well, i got my MS in a nunnery, so I think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>It might be okay, but in general, Catholic University is not a very selective institution. Look closely at their curriculum.</p>
<p>I’ve been there. The campus is nice but not gorgeous. The campus itself seemed quite safe, although it’s not in the best part of town. It’s respectable academically.</p>
<p>Not concerned with prestige. More interested in location, campus life, internship/coop opportunities, curriculum, not in that order. Looking for an accredited BME program in a medium size setting, preferably urban, in a location where internships/coops would be available close by.</p>
<p>Thanks for any other input.</p>
<p>I believe CUA’s engineering program is ABET accredited.</p>
