It's a question of whether she will feel comfortable as one of the very few religious non Catholics.  For example, will she have other friends who are not Catholic but who are still interested in going to church with her? If not, will she be okay going to church alone or will she want to go to Catholic mass?  [/quote]

OP here. Do kids go to Catholic mass while in college at ND?  What percentage would you guess go on a weekly basis?

I guess it comes down to how many "grew up Catholic" or are social Catholics and how many are truly actively practicing, devout Catholics as college students.  [/quote]

OP yes they do many of them.

[b]This is a non starter. If your kid wants a Catholic education great otherwise why in the world are you even entertaining this?

Seriously find another school. [/quote][/b]

Yes, they go to mass.  It's 82 percent catholic.  The remaining are often hooked students to help with ND's abysmal diversity scores.  There are chapels in the dorms for mass.  It's very cold.  Students are spouse hunting. Why would you do this if you are non-catholic when there are 4,000 other institutions in the US to pick from?  There are many threads on this already.[/quote]
NP. "They" go to mass, but what fraction and how often? LOL, not even half. Maybe a third, tops, attend mass.

I don't know what Catholic college your kid went to, but ND is different.  There is a chapel in every single residence hall often with a priest living there.  There is at least one mass a week at each hall and many go, even non Catholics.  It's more of a community building feel although many are devout.  Here's the mass schedule. https://campusministry.nd.edu/pray/mass-times/residence-hall-mass-schedule/

Here's a recent story about Milkshake Mass. https://magazine.nd.edu/stories/jesus-joe-and-milkshakes/

Here's a heartwarming video of a student talking about the Milkshake Mass.
