<p>Duke deserves to be on the list. It's definitely non-affiliated, but the Catholic student body is huge (~20%). Also, from my experiences so far, the Catholic community here is extremely fun, accepting, and active. </p>
<p>Villanova does have better recognition than Holy Cross, mostly due to sports. Recognition is not the same as quality, however! Boston College has solid academics, but it is definitely a party school. Par72 tends to recommend HC for everybody, btw. :p</p>
