[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would not worry about it at all.  The fact that your daughter embraces her faith is an automatic commonality she will have with many students. One of my son's classmates is not Catholic (not sure what her religion is though), but I know she is pretty conservative and religious.  She loved ND and is even considering going for grad school.  As for the Catholics, there are all types.  Some only attend mass for the social aspect while others are very serious about their faith.  My son has 5 roommates and three of them are more devout and attend mass every Sunday.  My son and the other two never attend Sunday mass, but they do go during the week in their dorm.

As for the masses, all are welcome.  There are many masses in various residence halls each day of the week.  Your daughter will likely attend a mass in her dorm on some evening during the week.  Many attend masses in other dorms that have themes...example one dorm has a "Milkshake Mass" where after mass the residents of that dorm serve milkshakes to all who attend.  It is really a fun community experience.

Please don't let others on this board discourage you just because of the school's Catholic roots.  Yes, it is a big part of its identity, but we Christians all worship the same Christ.  Academically it is a great institution, and football weekends are an absolute blast.[/quote]
