Georgetown from the start was founded to make all religions welcome. The offices of an imam, a rabbi and a priest are all side by side. I felt that if you are somewhat religious you would be comfortable on campus. The question for my son, an atheist, is whether he could be truly comfortable there. He was less put off by the crucifixes than the excessive neatness of the campus, regimented bulletin boards and banners with inspirational slogans. If you apply, you definitely should give it a visit to see how the fit is. My son felt he would need a second visit to be sure if he could take it. Educationally it’s perfect for him, socially he’s much less sure.
