The graduating class of 2023 is full of driven students who have each had unique experiences throughout their years at The Catholic University of America. Each student, however, started out in the same way – moving into the dorms.
From moving in to moving on, seven seniors caught up with us to provide an update on how they have transformed throughout their college experiences.
Juline Horan chose to start her college career at Catholic University because of the beautiful, intimate campus. Coming to Washington, D.C., from Weymouth, Connecticut, Juline began her first year at the University in 2019 as a politics major. She was enthusiastic about meeting new people throughout the city, but she was also determined to excel academically by getting straight A’s.
Juline said that her favorite midnight snack at the time she moved in was cereal, and she also loved to binge watch Friends. As a Taylor Swift fan, she was fittingly listening to “Lover” when she arrived at the University campus. Though Juline was sad to leave her bed behind back in Connecticut, she was still excited for her college life to begin with new classmates whom she thought were “awesome.”
