<p>I visited four times, and I asked that question of students, admissions reps, and faculty. They said about 50% of the students are Catholic. (The students I talked to didn’t happen to be Catholic, and they did not feel it was a problem.) It seemed to me (based ONLY on my few visits) to have a liberal atmosphere (like the city it is in). It is run by the Jesuits, who I have always understood to be VERY liberal. Disclaimer: I am Catholic, so maybe it didn’t concern me as much as it might a non-Catholic.</p>
<p>There is a Religious Studies requirement, but the course offerings cover nearly every religion you can think of - there is no requirement to study any particular religion, it is your choice.</p>
<p>Additional disclaimer: I really liked this university and it was among my final contenders, but ultimately I chose to attend another university.</p>
