| How would you compare Boston College, Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Villanova? |

For what purposes? What are you/your child looking for? What do you want us to compare: campus life, test scores for application, student body, geographical area, etc.? What?

Nova currently has the best hoops team.
Does anything else matter? |

| This is too general. I feel like you are a parent of a 9th grader thinking about these schools. They are actually really different in many ways. I am the graduate of one, I have siblings who also graduated from there, I have siblings who graduated from another, I have a parent who graduated from still another, and I know many others who graduated from the fourth one. So, I just feel like you haven't done enough research if you are still lumping all of these in the same category. |

Actually I think Boston College and Villanova are remarkably similar.
Notre Dame is Notre Dame. I don’t say that as if it’s a bad thing, it’s just hard to compare it to other schools. Georgetown is good, but IME generally is more of just a school high performing kids apply to in the same way they apply to Ivies/NU/WUSTL/Emory/etc. rather than because they are specifically attracted to the fact that it’s Catholic (which is much more the case with ND, BC, and Nova). Or they apply because they want to be in DC. |

At the present time, they're not even ranked. |

Maybe at a seminary. I went to Catholic U (so pretty Catholic on the scale) 30 years ago and no mass was required then. I doubt it’s been added. |

Georgetown is only "catholic".
Notre Dame is the most Catholic of the group. |
