Well, the name of Boston College does not sound religious, though of course many people know that it is Catholic. I would probably consider it, but only if it was the absolute best fit for my child. However, Notre Dame parents are the most scarily partisan sports parents I have ever encountered. They seem to have attached some religious fervor to their support of the school and its football team. A definite no on ND for that reason. Holy Cross looks like a great fit for my D and we plan to visit next week, but the very religious name does give me pause, yes. In fact, I spoke to a CCer I “met” on the athletic forum about Holy Cross who said that his son’s prep school friends are scared away from the school because of the name since they are not religious. And yes, they do realize the nature of the school, but there are atheists and generally secular individuals who seem to have a problem with the sound of the name, even though I personally do not. For my other two kids HC would have been a no since they had plenty of options, but the youngest is so unique it’s been very hard to find a school that has what she needs.
