<p>hey, I’m currently a freshman at Notre Dame. While I am Roman Catholic, I do have many friends here who are not. They’ve reported to me that ND’s Catholic atmosphere hasn’t really influenced them at all. Many students here are Catholic, but religion is rarely brought up in any of my classes. Sure there are crosses hanging up in classrooms and around campus, but my religious life here pretty much just extends to attending dorm mass with my friends. A person of any faith - or lack thereof - would definitely feel comfortable here.</p>
