[quote=Anonymous]OP, dcum people are harsh. But one thing you should understand, if you don't already, is that non-Jesuit Catholic colleges may be VERY different. Catholic in DC is very "old-fashioned" compared to Jesuit colleges - it has single-sex dorms and generally a much more conservative student body.

Also, I want to add that DCUM is oddly and fairly uniquely not exactly down on BC, but definitely not pro-BC. I am from New England and in academia and BC is extraordinarily popular and sought after. Obviously there are exceptions but in my circles, the rank is very clearly: Georgetown, BC, Holy Cross then the rest.

Last, in my opinion, even the least selective Jesuit colleges have a lot to offer. In addition to giving everyone a strong liberal arts education, many of them are very practical and focus on getting students internships during college. Graduates end up having better job results than you might expect for a school of its ranking or selectivity. As a result, Wall Street Journal, which cares about ROI more than anything else, ranks some of the lesser known Jesuit colleges (including Loyola Maryland) extremely high.[/quote]
