It also depends on the campus. Nobody is going to force you to convert to Catholicism, but RH is definitely more openly religious than LC. That being said, you seem to act like religion and closed-mindedness are the same thing, which is pretty much the opposite of Jesuit philosophy. I don’t intend this to be rude at all, but connoting religion with ideology is a stereotype that a lot of people seem to have. I’m a Catholic and I’m as liberal as they come, as are many of my friends.

But in summation, both campuses are liberal, they’re urban college campuses. They might not be as liberal as NYU, but just because Trump went here doesn’t mean we’re all conservatives. Currently we’re in the middle of this huge faculty health care debacle, and everyone is up in arms about it. I know a bunch of people, including myself, who went to the Women’s March.

St. Ignatius, who started the Society of Jesus, was all about being men and women for others. I don’t think that aligns with a lot of conservative rhetoric these days.
