Religiousness

Colleges and Universities A-Z Boston College

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I’ve been looking into Boston College recently, and it looks like a great school! However, I have some reservations.</p>

<p>I have read that Boston College is a Roman Catholic jesuit school. I attend a Catholic high school, but consider myself an agnostic atheist. Would either of these details make a difference at BC? For example, would the college “hold it against me” in terms of admittance or scholarship offers?</p>

<p>Also, how religious is the student body? I have no problem with religious people at all, but I think I would be uncomfortable in an environment where religion is a significant part of the curriculum or social life. I hope this makes sense.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’ve been here for about two weeks, and I do not feel any sort of intense religious vibe from the student body. Most of my classmates are liberal and open to all backgrounds.</p>

<p>Hi moustache, </p>

<p>This has been commented on quite a bit. If you do a “Search this Forum” (right above the views/replies at the top of the page) and search “religion” you’ll find a lot of threads where this has been discussed.</p>
