Indiana Catholic Colleges?

Hello! Can anyone talk about their experiences at Catholic colleges in Indiana? I come from a strong Catholic background and it's important to me that my future college shares those values. What options are out there?

Sure thing! Indiana is home to a few prestigious Catholic colleges which thrive on the Catholic traditions.

Firstly, the University of Notre Dame is probably the most well-known Catholic university in Indiana, and one of the most prestigious Catholic universities in the nation. It's well-renowned for academic rigor, and despite its size, does a very good job of fostering a sense of community. It's not just the religious aspect that makes Notre Dame special, but also its commitment to service. The university encourages students to help the less fortunate and make a difference in the world.

Saint Mary's College and Holy Cross College are also located in Notre Dame, IN. They are smaller but no less committed to integrating faith and intellectual life. Saint Mary's College is a women's college and is known for its empowering atmosphere, small class sizes and supportive community. Holy Cross College, on the other hand, is a co-educational college and also carries a reputation for personal attention and a strong sense of community.

Marian University in Indianapolis is another Catholic institution in Indiana. Similar to the others, Marian integrates liberal arts education with faith. They also have a two-year college called Saint Joseph's College of Marian University that offers associate degree programs.

Each of these schools has Mass services, spiritual retreats, service projects, and other faith-based activities available to their students. As always, it's important to visit these colleges and speak with current students and faculty to get a real sense of the community there.

Remember, it's all about finding the right fit - if your faith is important to you, these schools could prove to be great matches!
