You are DEFINITELY underestimating the level of religious conservatism at King’s. They own their continued existence and NYC location entirely to Campus Crusade for Christ, which is, by the way, the school’s sole proprietor. And their president is a noted fundamentalist author and speaker. </p>
<p>There are plenty of colleges with religious affiliation that do not actually require being religious to attend. Examples include Georgetown, Earlham, or Duke. TKC is NOT one of those colleges from everything I’ve seen and heard of it. In addition, please look up how their academics, housing, and majors are actually structured, you will probably be very surprised. I think if you watch their own promotional video, you’ll find you were misunderstand the level of religiousness at The King’s College - [The</a> King’s Experience - YouTube](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yR-4MxhwfQ&feature=plcp]The”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yR-4MxhwfQ&feature=plcp)</p>
<p>As for Loyola, it is much less strict. Generally, the Loyola schools, partially owing to their Jesuit affiliation, are a little more religious than some other Catholic schools like, say, Georgetown. But it’s clear that people of other or no faiths are welcome from their website. Examples of ways you can see this are: Greek life (uncommon at strict religious colleges), the existence of a Common Ground/Gay-Straight Alliance club, etc. Still, I’d echo the above comment that there are LOTS of colleges in both NYC and Chicago. You should definitely explore other options in those areas.</p>
