Questions to ask

Tick them off as you go. The best people to ask are the campus minister, a theology teacher and current students.

Sacramental life (ask campus ministry)

  • When is Mass during the week, and how many students usually come?
  • When is confession scheduled? Is a priest available to talk outside those times?
  • Is there adoration, and when is the chapel open?
  • How many priests serve students, and are they full-time?

Theology and curriculum (ask a professor or admissions)

  • Which theology and philosophy courses must every student take, whatever the major?
  • Is there a required course in Catholic theology specifically?
  • How does the core curriculum connect faith and reason across disciplines?

Campus culture and residence life (ask students)

  • Where do Catholic students gather? What groups are most active?
  • How many retreats are offered each year, and how many students go?
  • Are single-sex halls available? What is the visitation or overnight guest policy?
  • Is there a hall chaplain, or Mass in the residence halls?

Service (ask the service center)

  • What share of students take part in service? Is it part of any required course?
  • Where is Catholic social teaching taught?
  • What pro-life and justice programs are active this year?
