[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you say more about Catholic U and what you mean by more conservative than the others? How does that translate with regards to the experience? Thanks.[/quote]

NP. I think the PP was asking specifically about Catholic University in Washington DC, which does tend to have a more conservative reputation than some of the other Catholic universities.[/quote]

Good point! I'm the PP who mentioned the Jesuits. My experience of CUA is that it has a higher proportion of students who are training for the priesthood and/or are members of religious orders than any other Catholic college I've experienced in the US, and students, both lay/secular and seminarian/religious, tend to be all in on the party line on right-leaning Catholic politics. My experience of Jesuit colleges is that the more intellectual/free-thinking/less-orthodox commitments of the order can make these institutions welcoming to a wider range of faith-informed positions, and you are more likely to find significant numbers of students with left-leaning/social justice-y orientations, and faculty support for those students. Those are both broad generalizations, of course.[/quote]

Thank you, yes, I was thinking of Catholic University in DC. [/quote]
