You will be treated like the great, honest, and equal person that you are. Believe me. I didn’t attend USF, but I visited there constantly over the last year and while it’s a Jesuit institution it’s not a strict Catholocism you might be imagining. They do not require you to attend church or prayer - and true story is that most students don’t while they attend there. The only time a religious aspect will be brought up (unless you yourself actively follow something within a club or org on campus) will be within the educational core reqs. This is the same for all Jesuit institutions. In a nutshell they believe in educating the whole person - mentally, physically, and spiritually. They will have elusive education requirements like “Religion and Ideas” or “Philosophy of Religion” where you can fill that req by taking a religious related class. This most often doesn’t need to be a preachy, Bible reading and praising class. These can be as simple as “Religions of the World” where you just cover a brief history of each religion and how they developed their beliefs, or a more in-depth focus of a specific one, like Buddhism. You should have a choice from a list of classes to fill reqs like this and many others.</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
