[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do DC folks think of Georgetown these days? We were a bit underwhelmed. I mean, it’s an excellent school, but compared to similarly selective schools, you wonder why it’s so selective. [/quote]

very religious[/quote]

Not our impression at all. Plenty of non-Catholics attend.[/quote]

Sure but if a college is REQUIRING my DS/DD to take "The Problem of God" (THEO-1000) or "Introduction to Biblical Literature" (THEO-1100), we're NOT going there.

As an optional course, sure do what you want to offer. [/quote]

That’s because you’re affirmatively anti-religion.

For a Catholic school to require two religion classes that clearly aren’t even Catholic focused is nothing.

What the hell do you expect a Catholic school to do?

Weirdo [/quote]

The first class sounds great, from the description: "show awareness of distinctive traditions of thought; are attuned to the differences among scientific, symbolic, mythical, and metaphorical uses of language; and show a sophisticated appreciation for recurrent human questions and the answers provided by various religious traditions." Second course also sounds fine: "The Bible is more interesting, more complex, and in the end more “weird” than most people expect. Come see for yourself."

Sounds like both courses are historical and focus on critical thinking. No problems here. Non-religious kid would find interesting.[/quote]
