Bill D asked:


I understand that Georgetown is a Jesuit-based university. I am apathetic toward religion, but have always had an interest in going there.

Is there any sort of religious requirement to be there/to graduate from there? I am planning on visiting Georgetown during the summer but do not want to waste my time if it is heavily-affiliated.

Is it more your option, and there are services available for the religious? Does this carry to most of the “religious” schools?

Thanks!
