[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always viewed Gonzaga as a gloried public school.

It is not nearly as Catholic as you think.

Gonzaga is as far from a public school as you can get.  Not sure where pp is getting this impression.  First of all, it is single sex. I have, however, [b]heard of SJC getting that description[/b].  DS shadowed there, and he said it felt like public school with uniforms. [/quote]

What makes it feel 'public' (that needn't be a slur, btw)?  Is it the chapel, the prayer to start each class and sport/activity, the monthly mass, the mission trips, the peer ministers, or the FA for those less fortunate?  I'd like to know.  [/quote]

I think what makes it feel more public than Gonzaga is the fact that it is co-ed, and everything is under one roof.  Gonzaga (which is all boys) has several buildings with a courtyard in the center.  It feels more private in that sense.  More like a very tiny college campus.  That coupled with the fact that it includes a chapel AND a church makes it feel more Catholic.  Finally a homeless shelter in the basement of the church gives the boys ample opportunity to serve the underprivileged without ever leaving the school grounds.

What makes it more like a public school is the fact that there are black students.

Every single person that makes that comment to me is from a Lilly white life.[/quote]
