How religious are catholic universities?

I went to St. Joseph's University (Jesuit) in the late 80s. We had coed dorms and nobody bothered checking on us to see if boys and girls were in each other's dorm rooms. We basically had zero limits. If I remember correctly, Villanova did not have coed dorms at the time.

Jesus university in late 90's - freshman dorms were single sex, and there were rules on when visitors had to be out. I don't know how strictly the RA enforced the rules, though. Upper class dorms - co-ed, but single sex by floor.

It's not just the university, the religion courses. It's the students. If your kid is not Catholic, or even Christian, why attend a university full of Catholics and other Christians.

Visitation hours for guests of the opposite sex begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at 12:00 a.m. (midnight) Sundays through Thursdays. On Fridays and Saturdays, visitation hours begin at
10:00 a.m. and extend to 2:00 a.m. Visitation hours during reading period, exams, holidays, and break periods end at midnight. Visitation parameters and procedures may be changed from time to time by the Office of Residence Life & Housing.

IME, a lot of people like these rules because you don't have to deal with your roommate's boyfriend/girlfriend spending the night in your tiny dorm room.

No we want men to be taught not to rape.

Are you saying if Catholic men are not locked away from women they rape them?

Just stop. That's not the point and you know it.

No I don’t know the point. You said if there are coed dorms in Catholic colleges women will be raped.

not pp but bi you have reaading compreshension issue

She said people at Catholic colleges are weird to want coed dorms because girls will be raped.

If she did not say that what did she say.

NP

I read it as having single sex dorms decreases the likelihood of rape in the dorms. And the parietals at ND takes that a step further.

I like the idea of single sex and parietals, not considering the issue of sex, but knowing that it will decrease distractions during a time when frontal lobe is not yet fully developed.

This is straight incident counts(not per capita), but anyways all 4 major Catholic schools - ND, GT, BC, and Villanova are outside of 100
GT has some rape numbers though.

They are also pretty low on hate crime against gays religion etc. although there might be a factor that those crowds didn't choose those schools in the first place.

https://data.tcpalm.com/crimes-on-campus/hate-crime-bias/us/00/2019/#csstable

Overall these schools are great choices

Violence against women

Villanova 5/7000 = .0007
Penn state 68/95000 = .0007

⁹
Any particular reason why you used only undergraduate number for Villanova and total number undergrad + grad for Penn State

Google

Any reason you did not redo the math? Yea because it’s still .0007

Catholic or not, increases the chance.

Stepping fully aside from the Catholic angle on this...

Are there studies that show co-ed dorms increase the chances of female residents being raped? I mean, sure, if you prefer to live with all women (or all men) in an environment that has gatekeepers at the entry to get permission for opposite sex visitors - then - seek that out. Never once in my life did I feel that the presence of men living in the same building as me put me at risk of being raped.

No

You used different nubmers for each school.
