<p>I think with the larger, well-known schools with a religious affiliation (particularly Catholic ones) there tends to be more religious diversity, mostly because the students chose to go there for non-religious reasons. I know this is especially the case at BC, where my dad and older sister went and my younger sister currently goes. Often times, kids who are into the name-brand thing didn’t get into more selective schools (Ivies, Little Ivies, etc.) will go there because it’s easily recognizable. In some cases they did get in but were more interested in a college that had a better social scene like BC has (these are the people I hope my sister stays away from!) I’ve heard people around here joke that BC stands for “Barely Catholic”. My cousin went to Notre Dame and it is pretty much the same thing there, just a giant party school really.</p>
<p>As for evangelical schools, I imagine things are quite different. I’m currently taking an upper level adolescent psychology course, where we looked at a case study that said the amount of sexual activity in evangelical schools is much lower than at public schools, yet at Catholic schools it is about the same. I come from a very Catholic background (though I am non-practicing) so I know pretty much nothing about evangelicalism. But I think it is safe to conclude that religion is a much stronger presence at those schools than at schools like BC or Notre Dame (either that or we now know what they say about Catholic school girls is true, right? Haha, kidding.)</p>
<p>Wow, that was long. But yeah, just my two cents.</p>
