[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vast majority of students, even grad students in my experience, are Catholic and are practicing Catholics.  Does that mean they live within all the tenets of the Catholic Church, no.  Does that mean they go to mass most Sundays and are otherwise believers, yes. And no, all the Catholic families don't know each other but legacy is huge here and it is not unusual for several siblings from the same family to attend - and this definitely creates a certain atmosphere.  I attended as a not very devout Catholic (after having attended Catholic school growing up) and there were plenty of times I wondered what I was doing there but I don't think your DD would feel out of place as long as she is a person of faith.  Best to visit and spend time on the campus for your DD to get a sense of how she would feel there, especially given many of the students attended Catholic school their whole lives.  I did not do that before I attended and that would have lessened the shock of how Catholic the students are.[/quote]

You didn’t actually go to Notre Dame. Stick to your lane.[/quote]
