In terms of the religious aspect, one of the things that is great about the Jesuit values are that they don’t force anything upon you. Coming from a Jesuit school I can appreciate though the kinds of things that the Jesuits do teach. Rather than focusing on trying to convert people ie do you believe in God etc the Jesuits are more concerned with the social justice aspect of helping others. One of the common goals of the Jesuits are to be “men and women for others,” and this is what BC really focuses on, not so much the religious aspect. Now for those who are religious, that aspect can be incorporated into it if they see fit, but it does not have to be like that for everyone. With that, it basically means that volunteering and helping others is a main priority of the students on campus. There certainly are students who do go to Chapel or Mass but it isn’t something that you HAVE to do. I hope that answers that, if you have any other questions let me know.
