To answer your questions:

1) The vibe (On the LC campus, haven’t ventured into Rose Hill territory yet.) is pretty much the same on any school. It’s fairly laid back, there’s no need to worry about not being Catholic (I’m not, either.) as there’s no real religious air to the school. It’s easy to forget Fordham even is a Jesuit college.
I’d sum up LC as liberal and somewhat artsy, it seems like all the “normal” kids from high school were rounded up and sent to LC.

2) In my opinion, I’d say LC is the single ugliest campus I have ever seen. It’s little more than a high-rise building that looks like it might be stuck in the 70s.
That said, it’s also in the heart of the city and its location is a reason a lot of students choose it.
If she’s interested in the traditional campus experience, she should go to Rose Hill. If she’s interested in being more in the city and an “alternative”-esque campus, she should attend LC.

3) As I mentioned earlier, I’m not Catholic either. There’s little religion represented in the school - I believe a few daily masses are held (that few people actually attend) and then the required theology courses, but that’s it. It’s not as if students will approach her and stone her if she says she’s not Catholic.
In fact, most of my instructors are Jewish.

4) I’m useless with stats, sorry.
I’m surprised they’ve extended the deadline with so many people applying. I assume that may be a good sign, though.
