[quote=Anonymous]I would recommend some further research.  I think it may be more about what kind of diversity she hopes for in her college friends and experience. We looked into this for the same reasons of your original post and so understand the desire to want to have the school be an option.  It checks off a lot of boxes.  We found in our research that the majority of the kids are Catholic and the priests all hold leadership positions in the school.  20-25% of the kids come from the Catholic high schools (depending on the year).  There are so many great schools out there our son decided not to apply simply because he wanted more diversity and to have friends from all different backgrounds and not have one type of background dominate.  We wanted that for him as well. Yes, there is some diversity at BC and some might say it's not that religious but it attracts students who identify as Catholic (was much as 70% of the student body depending on the year) which creates a less diverse student body.  That ultimately was not what he was looking for.  [/quote]
