<p>I know that religion is obviously a major part of Villanova, but I was wondering how big of a part it played in life at Villanova. I noticed a lot of theology related core classes. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.</p>
<p>Bump please?</p>
<p>when i visited Villanova I learned that students have the option to go to mass sunday night? i think. i also heard that a lot go.</p>
<p>A lot of students do go to mass, but also plenty don't. Im jewish and i feel i fit in fine at villanova.</p>
<p>I'm not very religious, so I was just wondering how Villanova would work for me. Do you think the religious core classes would be a lot for someone who isn't that big into religion?</p>
<p>Taysel.. check out students review dot com</p>
<p>it gives students' perspectives of their experience at any college. from what i've learned, if you're not religious at all it will not hinder your experience. however, there are required theology courses that you must take, but they don't necessarily involve Christian or Catholic teachings. </p>
<p>I remember one of the students said.. "I sometimes forgot the school was a Catholic school" (i'm not sure if that's good or bad). I think you would do fine.</p>
<p>My D was a freshman last year. She came from a public school and attended Sunday masses but was never deeply religious. She took the required religion class her first year with Father Joe Farrell (highly recommend) and absolutely loved it. Father Joe was fun, kept it light but taught to their level of understanding. She raves about the student mass on Sunday evenings. </p>
<p>She also made tons of non-catholic friends (jewish, muslims, etc.) and they all completely respect and appreciate each other's differences. Villanova does a great job. I would not worry about the religion aspect of it. Instead keep your mind open and embrace all the opportunities and new ideas this awesome college has to offer!</p>
