<p>This is aimed primarily at current Georgetown students, but applicants from this year are welcome to answer as well: how welcoming is Georgetown to non-Catholic students? I’m a current junior hoping to apply to SFS next year, and although I was raised Catholic, I’ve broken pretty definitively with the Church and now identify as an atheist.
This definitely isn’t to say that I’m intolerant of Catholics or that I dislike Catholic theology; I’m part of a predominantly Catholic family and would have absolutely no trouble living in a college environment that emphasizes Catholicism. However, before I apply, I want to be sure that non-Catholic students feel welcomed and accepted, and that Georgetown’s climate is one of openness and diversity. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Also, I know that this doesn’t have much to do with Catholicism per se, but is the political climate at Georgetown generally liberal or conservative?</p>
