Atheist at Villanova?

Yeah, Villanova is a Catholic school, but when you put together 6,000 rich white kids, you’re not going to have a huge conservative population. Although Sunday mass is a big thing, it’s not really a religious mass. People of all faiths attend the student service and it’s more of a reflection on the past week than a time for worship.

I’m going there next year too, and although I’m Catholic, I really wouldn’t worry if I were you. You won’t be shunned because you don’t believe. Trust me, most of the kids there are only Catholic in the fact that they listed it as their religion to get more brownie points when applying. Most aren’t too serious about it (including myself) and the friars know and understand that.
