[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a Jesuit university.  Jesuits are learned, thinking, questioning men, so even if you aren't into Catholicism you wouldn't find a ton to be offended by with the Jesuits.  If you wouldn't mind your son going to Georgetown - from a religious perspective - you wouldn't mind Xavier.  It's small - less than 5,000 ugrads from a wide variety of faiths.  It has a low faculty/student ratio and is very student focused - undergraduates outnumber graduate students 2:1. It has a high graduation rate and strong academics.

It is NOT in a "walkable" community so your kid would need a car.

What else do you want to know?  [/quote]

Exactly what I was looking to find out; thank you. I am a product of a Catholic university, but we aren't practicing so I don't want it to be a campus focus as it was at my school. I also don't want the population to be 90% Catholic high school grads, fresh out of their plaid uniforms, because that's how it was at my college. I think there's' a lot of merit in the Jesuit approach. He's interested in business and advertising; solid student but not top-tier. We are looking at schools that might be interested in drawing in smart kids from different geographic areas, and he is not especially interested in staying close to DC -- which is as it should be, really.

I am thinking he may have been contacted by the school via test results and for some reason he's intrigued. Thanks again for the input![/quote]
