<p>In the college search and selection process i came through this term,
What does "Religious Affiliation: Roman Catholic" mean ?
Does it affects the study of students?
Any other things to know for such colleges ?</p>
<p>My son just finished his first year at a “Roman Catholic” college. He said that some of the teachers will occasionally tie in religion to the subject they’re studying. He had to take one class on religion. Someone leads a prayer before athletic events. He also receives e-mail notices with prayer requests. We’re not Catholic, but none of these have been a problem for him. Roman Catholic schools can really vary, so ask students about their perception when visiting.</p>
<p>all it means is thats the schools religion. This means they will have places of worship of that religion on campus and it will be tied into campus life. Religion courses are usually required at any school with a religious affiliation</p>
<p>“Roman Catholic” schools really run the gamut. Colleges like Ave Maria tend to be very conservative and heavily steeped in Catholic tradition, while Jesuit schools like Georgetown are far more liberal and the religious influence is limited to Jesuit professors and theology classes.</p>
<p>Basically what simpson98 said. There are plenty of more liberal Jesuit schools [I assume you’re not talking about benedictine or franciscan schools which are also Catholic school types.] and the Catholics tend to be generally accepting of other religions/no religous interests etc. If you go to one, you’ll probably end up sitting through a theology class or two, and may have jesuit professors- but so far most of the reviews I’ve read about Jesuit professors in general are good. They tend to be well-versed in their field and care about your well-being. [Just some generalizations of the reviews I’ve been seeing in a student review college guide.] </p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
