I have a daughter at CUA. It is some of the best training available, and on par with programs like Baldwin Wallace. I have never heard of students taking the train to Baltimore, but they do metro into DC quite often. Parts of campus are old, that is true. But by sophomore year they have the option of living in the new high rise dorm and can live off campus or in the apartments by Junior/Senior year. CUA is very highly regarded, especially in the DMV market, and their alum are quite successful. It’s also one of the more established MT programs (I believe 30 or more years old.)
