<p>It would be very helpful if a current student/alum/someone who knows could describe exactly what a jesuit education is, and what role the Catholic church plays on campus. Would a non-Catholic student feel overwhelmed or out of place?</p>
<p>Although, I did not attend BC, I did attend Loyola University which is also a Jesuit school. I am not Catholic and never felt out of place there even though Loyola (New Orleans) is located in an extremely Catholic city. The emphasis at a Jesuit school is on education more than the religion you practice.</p>
<p>Religion aside, a Jesuit education is probably the ultimate in a liberal arts education. Emphasis is placed on thinking–many times outside of the box that you may have grown up in. If you are extremely uncomfortable with change or with differences in people or ideas, then a Jesuit school is probably not the place for you. I, personally found Loyola to be the place that helped me define who I am and what I believe and am hoping that my daughter will find the same growth if she chooses a Jesuit school.</p>
