religion in Georgetown

<p>okay I know Georgetown is Jesuit so I was wondering how much of a role religion plays in the college life?</p>

<p>2 Theology classes are required, but most people don't really mind them. They actually have pretty interesting classes. A lot of people are catholic, but not everyone practices. If you want to go to mass, you'll be able to find people to go with and the chapel is pretty full, but if you don't no one will even notice or think anything of it. There are other religions on campus, but Catholicism is obviously dominate. I think the jesuit tradition gives georgetown a nice feel, but you can come visit to see for yourself.</p>

<p>Basically, religion is there if you want it, or you can be completely uninvolved. And for the theology classes, you can take things like Asian Civilization to fulfil the requirement.</p>

<p>The campus and students are pretty accepting. To be picky, Georgetown likes to talk a lot about its diversity, like, "our student body are catholics, protestants, muslims, jews, etc." and never once has atheism been an option. Normally, this sort of thing wouldn't really come to mind but I've heard the line so many times that it was pretty obvious...</p>

<p>Anyway, I find it to be decently amusing here, I always thought Catholics were quirky and the jesuits are way cool.</p>
