Jesuit schools for non Catholics? Thoughts?

I actually think it is a good example of the little things one might encounter at a Catholic school that could bother you. Not insurmountable, not a deal breaker for most, but for some it might be indicative of all the little things that can annoy you. If it is going to bother you, or if having 10 of these little issues is going to bother you, don’t go because they aren’t going to change. If a school not having a student health center is an issue (Catholic school or not), consider that in making your choice. If a school is going to set the schedule around the Catholic (or Jewish or Muslim) calendar, determine if that’s a problem for you. Classes on Saturdays you can’t avoid? Your call.

Students make the choice of colleges based on a lot of little things. Some won’t go to a school that requires freshmen to live on campus, or won’t let them take a car, or have a core curriculum, or have too many female students. It’s a personal decision on what you want to put up with and what you consider important.
