religious affiliations

<p>First off, i am NOT a religious person. But how prominent is a school's religious affiliation on campus? Is it something that's really obvious, or can you still find people who are, say, completely unreligious?</p>

<p>That depends on the university/college.</p>

<p>The religious affiliation at Georgetown might be barely noticeable but at Grove City it would be very noticeable.</p>

<p>A Dean at Georgetown once told me that when you come there you did not have to leave your religion at the door. He meant that all religions were welcomed. Nevertheless, there are, at least to my understanding, crucifixes in the classrooms, and public displays of pro-abortion support are unwelcomed.</p>

<p>It really depends, Duke(i believe Methodist affiliated) vs. Bob Jones =
huge difference.</p>

<p>it really depends. it's one of those things you'll just have to ask around about</p>

<p>If my understanding is correct, it's basically non-existant at Emory.</p>

<p>it also depends on what kind of affiliation it is. Some religions are just naturely going to be more open than others (the jesuits come to mind)</p>

<p>How about in Fordham?</p>

<p>Visit the campus in person to check it out; ask specific questions about it during an info session, particularly if you are not of same religious affiliation as the college.</p>

<p>Brandeis for instance is only half Jewish, they have three chapels on campus (Catholic, Jewish, Protestant) to symoblize the diversity and acceptance of the community.</p>

<p>Fordham is Jesuit, and they're supposed to be one of the more liberal ones, but I think the religious presence is definitely felt and there are relgious requirements for the classes</p>
