<p>Are colleges with Religious Affiliation (like Emory, Notre Dame - both great) suitable and desirable (No offense to anyone) for interfaith students (particularly for a Hindu/Jain/Gujarati student) ?</p>
<p>You have religiously affiliated schools and religious schools. Emory and Notre Dame are the former. There is no religion requirement except often the need to take one or two religion related courses which can be something like the history of religions. Otherwise you will hardly notice the college is religiously affiliated and all kinds of religions are represented by the students including many agnostics. A religious college on the other hand, like Brigham Young, Bob Jones, actually expect attendance at services.</p>
<p>From anyone’s own experiences, hows is Fordham in this regard ?</p>
