[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a freshman at a large, secular, public school. He is member of the Newman community there and spends multiple days a week at the house. They have meals together, play sports together, do Bible study etc. You do not have to go to a Catholic School to find your people and will be disappointed to find out how not Catholic some of them actually are.[/quote]

In addition to Catholic universities, I'd also suggest considering secular schools with a strong Catholic community as a second option.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, thank you. She is looking at that. She has friends at UMD where they have a strong community.[/quote]
I’m interested in learning how one determines which secular schools have a strong Catholic community.  Do you look for Newman centers?[/quote]

Or check with the parishes near the campus.  Many of them will serve the student population in some way and should have a sense of how active they are.    Thr Newman center will have Mass attendance figures, but if it matters to DC, ask about other kinds of available activities like service and retreats. [/quote]
