[quote=Anonymous]NP and while I do know a lot of Catholics, including some in my own family, who are indeed strong advocates of social programs and charity, to be fair to OP there are plenty of very visible right-wing Catholics. Kavanaugh and Scalia come to mind pretty quickly, for instance. FWIW my own impression of CUA (I got my grad degree there several years ago, which is a different experience than undergrad but did give me some experience on the campus) is that its student body does lean more conservative, especially in the religion/history/politics areas.

As for the individual student experience I think in part it depends on the major. The STEM disciplines have plenty of secular students who are just there to get their degree for reasons like those you mention, OP - it's convenient location-wise and with aid can be perfectly affordable. But if she's going to major in politics then yeah, I suppose a lot of her classmates are going to be there because it's CUA and they are conservative Catholics. But it's not like Liberty or anything. I agree with 13:41 that she would be fine, and as 13:51 mentions, there are definitely Catholics who are left-leaning, progressive, and/or supporters of the Democratic party. She'll find her crowd if she ends up there. As an atheist I never had anyone give me any flack, though some did try a bit to convert me (unsuccessfully ;) ).[/quote]
