School’s Comments:
Institution: We are a two-year Catholic men’s trade college with a strong humanities program and Catholic culture. We have been interviewed and featured in both the Register and EWTN.
Mass and Confession: Yes, including an adoration chapel
Dorms: Our host provides us with our own dorm building. Other dorms used by our host are single-sex by floor. Our host has a fairly robust and enforced visitation policy, while ours is more strict.
