[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a wash, and that the kid should pick whichever school they are more comfortable with.

And, for the record, the posters who are  saying that Georgetown is no more Catholic than the whole country are full of shit. Georgetown is over 40% Catholic. The country is 23% Catholic. These numbers are very easy to look up. I just hate it when people spew out easily refutable bullshit on DCUM.  [/quote]

Or maybe you can't imagine being in a community that has 40% of a given subgroup and not being dominated by it? As a non-religious adult graduate of a Jesuit college, whose child is now at Georgetown - the main influence at these schools is the Jesuit education and value system. In my view (and experience) this is a "good thing". I went to a T5 for graduate school and while my department was a great subset of the university, the university itself had no value system in place for the undergrads (or anyone, really) whatsoever. The undergrads cared only about grades, the school admin cared nothing about whether the kids had values or cared about community or each other or the world.  I had loved my Jesuit undergrad but never fully appreciated it's value until grad school.

Georgetown is not religious - but it is Jesuit. If you appreciate the liberal arts education and value system the Jesuit approach provides, then it is a great match.  Stop talking your own BS on something you know nothing about. [/quote]
