I would argue that Georgetown doesn’t feel a certain way because it’s more diverse than BC. And religious diversity is only one measure. Influence of cultures and ethnicities drive a campus culture to mix and engage as well.

67 percent identify as Christian or Catholic at Georgetown.
42 percent of students check Catholic. 25 percent check off Protestant Christian.

6 percent Jewish

The student population at Georgetown University is 51.9% White, 7.98% Asian, 7.18% Black or African American, 6.95% Hispanic or Latino, 2.78% Two or More Races, 0.124% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.119% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders.

BC has a larger international cohort, a larger Asian population at 10 percent and larger 10 percent Hispanic student body. Less so in with only 4 percent AA.

More international students, Asian and Hispanic students by reasonable percentages than the student body than Georgetown. Less AA by 3 percent.

BC has 40 percent as of last year who are AHANA. 60 percent white or white hispanic. 1400 international students out of 9300.

I don’t see that perhaps 9 percent less Caucasian’s as being an observable different at Georgetown. More Asians and Hispanics. And close of religious identifications. Which is different than adherence.

This is BC overall diversity score which is only been improve for the class of 2023.
