<p>So I'm Catholic and looking at colleges and would love to go to a Catholic Unversity. I'm looking at Marquette, De Paul, and Notre Dame. What are other Catholic schools with good reputations? College of Holy Cross, Villanova, Fordham, thoughts? </p>

<p>My S went to Fordham undergrad and Notre Dame for grad school. He had great experiences and got a great education at both schools. BC and Georgetown are two excellent schools not on your list. But take a look at this list of Jesuit schools and then research which ones might work for you. <a href=“Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities--Jesuit Colleges and Universities”>http://www.ajcunet.edu/institutions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Years ago, Time Magazine had an article on “The Catholic Ivy League”. It is not a real league but merely their way of saying that the following Catholic colleges were considered the best in the nation: </p>

<p>Notre Dame
Georgetown
College of the Holy Cross
Fordham
Boston College
St Louis University </p>

<p>Do you want a Catholic school with a good academic reputation or a challenging academic environment with a good Catholic reputation? </p>

<p>Yes that would be ideal! Not a requirement to be catholic, but it’d be preferred.</p>

Gonzaga
Creighton
Santa Clara</p>

<p>Run the Net Price Calculators on each of these college websites because the range in price you’ll find is likely to be vast:
Holy Cross meets full need… Notre Dame unfortunately gaps lower-income kids… and Santa Clara is overall horrible at financial aid, for instance.</p>

<p>And there is this big thread about Villanova’s cost and value to a particular student and family…

What is the reputation of LeMoyne College in Syracuse? for political science, pre-law. I guess I’m asking what do people do after graduating - what kinds of graduate programs and/or law schools do they get into?
