I do find it curious that you don’t want a religious presence, but you’ve looked at BC, Georgetown, Providence, Notre Dame. It seems you DO want a religious school.

I was just using Georgetown and Notre Dame as reference points for how much religious influence I am comfortable with a college having. I brought up PC because my college counselor thought it might be a good safety school, but when I researched it I decided it wouldn’t be a fit. I am looking at BC because I know that it has strong academics, I like the location, and I like the size. I don’t want to rule it out if my concerns about religion aren’t a big deal, which is why I posted this in the first place.
