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?
