[quote=Anonymous]OP, the only things that the schools on DC's list have in common is that they are Catholic.  Different sizes, different calibration on teaching vs. research, different locations, different levels of affluence, different histories, different cultures.  Even the Catholicism manifested on each campus (never mind Jesuit vs. non-Jesuit) is going to be different.  Your instinct to visit is absolutely the right one.

If you want to take the temperature on the Catholicism angle, try talking with students from opposite ends of the theological and political spectrum at each institution, just while you're walking around meeting people or on tours.  Ask to meet a kid who's super involved in spiritual life and then see if you can find a kid who's not.  See how they talk about belonging at their school.  But evaluating the schools themselves is the same regardless: just see what kind of campus fits DC best.

Other places not yet on your list: Loyola Chicago, Loyola Baltimore, John Carroll, Creighton.  And +1 to St. Joe's in Philly.[/quote]
