Yes you can apply. Can't answer on the "will people beat me up" question. It probably wouldn't be much different than your experience with your religion in the general population.

There are a few idiots everywhere, but the VAST majority of people wouldn't assult someone for their religion. I can't see your experience being much different than at any other college, Catholic or not. You might get some verbal assult from some people, but I can't see anyone beating you up. If they do, it's a hate crime, and you should contact the authorities.

Believe it or not, Catholicism and Islam have very few differences with regards to morality. About the only major difference is the whole question of whether Jesus was crucified and resurrected and whether Muhammed pbuh was actually inspired by God.

This is all coming from an agnostic-turned-Catholic high school senior. I attend an all boys Jesuit high school. We're around 85% Catholic and have about 2 Muslims of 1000. I've never heard of anyone attempting to attack them or even harass them for their religion. I can't see why ND would be any different.
