<p>Is being non-catholic a drawback for admission?</p>
<p>If i do go, would i feel out of place?</p>
<p>you wont feel out of place. there are many non-catholic student who attend BC so you wont feel left out. i didn't feel left out at orientation, instead, i felt very welcomed to the BC community, but only time will tell</p>
<p>Oh wow, there hasn't been like 4568979457 threads on this or anything.</p>
<p>Be nice, GreenDayFan. You've been around awhile - others haven't.</p>
<p>Why go to a catholic school if you're not catholic? Are you also applying to Historically Black Colleges too? I would feel out of place but I am catholic so naturally I would like to attend ND, Gtown, BC, or HC.</p>
<p>"Why go to a catholic college if you are not catholic?" Are you kidding?! Do you really think that catholic colleges do not provide the same educational offerings as non-catholic ones? That is only worthy of ridicule. Get out of the Dark Ages...</p>
<p>i think the main thing that you will feel at BC is the educational belief that the jesuits hold. "men & women for others"
that is the main thing, like the whole learning to help others...
other catholic stuff is there at your own disposal. if you want to go to mass, you can go, but you certaintly don't have to and not everyone goes. i do not think you will feel out of place.</p>
<p>brooklynrats- Completely ignore Conlax11's reply. It adds no helpful information to this discussion and it is simply ignorant. First, being non-catholic will not hurt you in the admissions process at all. Second, I don't think that being a non-catholic will cause you to feel out of place at all. I am a non-catholic (and not really religious at all) and I do not feel out of place. BC is clearly Catholic but it not in your face. For Catholics BC can be an amazing place to explore your faith but there is no attempt at conversion. As a non-catholic I have found the religous affliation of the school to be beneficial to me in two ways: 1) As scotty stated, the whole "men and women for others" metality creates a campus where every one gets involved in community service and activism. 2) The Jesuits themselves: they are amazing. Jesuits are some of the most learned and intellectual men you will ever meet. Not to mention the fact that they dedicate their lives to educating the students at BC and thus, are willing to do just about anything to help you learn.
Conlax- these are just some of the reasons why one would go to a Catholic school as a non-Catholic.</p>
<p>yea, and father jack is just amazing at grabbing your attention</p>
<p>i know that i am hindu and i am still going. someone i know went there and they loved it. i dont think it should be a problem.</p>
