[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all this info, PP.

How Catholic does it feel - that is, would a non-Catholic student feel welcome, do you think?[/quote]

This is PP. We are not Catholic, nor is my kid’s roommate.

There is a renowned Center for Jewish - Catholic thought on campus, but I think it is focused on the Jesuit priests and Philly community rather than the undergrads. It does seem like a large number of kids come from conservative, Catholic families. There is a huge focus on social justice and community service, as you would expect from a Jesuit institution.

Another benefit is the “well roundedness” of the curriculum. While studying at an accredited business school, my student must still take foreign language; philosophy; and other discussion and seminar based courses. While it can be tough, I think everyone benefits from this type of classical education, rather than the extremely vocational focus seen at many undergrad business schools. [/quote]

Agree. I graduated years ago, but the vibe on campus was welcoming and many students were not devout. While there are the typical liberal arts requirements, all of my theology requirements were satisfied with courses devoted to global issues, rather than Catholic-specific. [/quote]
