Students often use one word to describe life at UCA: family. There is a deep and genuine sense of community that grows throughout one’s time at UCA and a strong sense of faith that exists within life at UCA.

Within its strong sense of community, student life at UCA offers numerous other opportunities to learn, grow, stretch, lead, perform, compete, compose or reflect. Some of these opportunities occur within specific programs, and some simply occur within the "daily day" life of being a member of the UCA community.

Students are encouraged to make new friends, try new activities or sports, and always to be involved at UCA in some way beyond the classroom. There is also a strong sense of faith that exists within life at UCA.
