Question

Answer 1

Academically, Catholic Universities aren't much different from other universities. While most undergraduates at Catholic universities are Catholic -- enough are not Catholic (or lapsed catholics) where the atmosphere on campuses is pretty much like any private university. You might be required to take some Religious Studies classes -- but these will be academic courses & not classes where they intend to push Catholic doctrine on you.

As an undergraduate at Villanova, my Religious Studies classes included a comparative religion class and one called Religion & Science -- where we discussed how religion got in the way of scientific discovery.

Religion did not make its way into any of my other classes at Villanova.

All of this is in contrast to Christian Colleges or Morman Universities where religion permeates everything at the schools and your behavior is monitored.

Answer 2

I went to a catholic school; the biggest downside was that the core curriculum required a couple of religion courses. Also, a couple times on campus, I had to chase off some religious nuts trying to convert me. Other than that, there isn't an undue amount of discrimination, except when I wore my cross buster shirts.

Answer 3

I went to an online university called Grand Canyon University, it is a Christian based university. I loved it a lot because of the different virtual ministries I was able to participate in. I was able to communicate with other students who have the same beliefs as me without being criticized because of what I believe in. I believe that God is the creator and He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for the world. I was able to talk to others that share the same faith, we prayed together and we encouraged each other.

Answer 4

It's OK. The religion is optional but interesting.
