<p>Senior at Sewanee here. </p>
<p>There is definitely a spectrum of religion on campus; the Christian students are definitely not overbearing at all. There are a few Jewish students whom I know personally, but there is not much in terms of Jewish student coalitions or anything. A Jewish student can definitely flourish here, though – I know Muslim students, Hindu students, atheist students – all who love the place. The largest religion present on campus is definitely Episcopalians (about 30% I think), but the vast majority are the sort that go to Easter service once a year and that’s it; religion only plays a role here if one actively seeks it out (attends Catechumenate and the like).</p>
<p>We are conservative compared to most colleges in terms of political values and the like, but that’s assuming most colleges are considerably more liberal than conservative. We are essentially split 50-50 according to last political polls. The nice thing is that the sort of conservatism present on campus still is an academic sort, as someone mentioned. The conservative students are those who want to keep seeing gowned students around campus while the more liberal ones think that gowns should be for all or think that the strict GPA requirements are antiquated and not adequate gauges of academic capability. </p>
<p>Let me know if yall have any other questions.</p>
