Have you looked at niche reviews?
I don’t have firsthand experience but…
My neighbors kid went (physics) and went on to grad engineering at Notre Dame.
They are very very very religious and conservative and said it was a dream experience of all like minded kids…
Their President was about to take over Tennessee Charter School education (our governor wants to bring religion in) but was caught calling teachers some of the dumbest people from the dumbest colleges- so the governor had to pull back.
I suspect what you read or hear - is what it is. If it meets your beliefs, then great - and if not, probably not a fit.
But I would read niche reviews as a minimum and maybe call and ask to speak to a student ambassador.
Also, these are the colleges that don’t take federal money. That’s telling too in regards to what their belief system is.
Good luck whatever you decide.
