Thomas More is a very small school and is very focused on the curriculum. Student activities are generally limited to what the students themselves initiate. Students are expected to contribute fully both in school and in the day-to-day workings of the campus (clean-up, kitchen crew). Yet the school tends to foster cooperative rather than competitive learning and can be a transformative experience - helped by the exposure to great thinkers and poets and by the sophomore semester in the great city of Rome. Although it is a Catholic university, it is more welcoming than most to students who are not Catholic, or who have no religious beliefs at all (I was one of the many non-Catholics who attended). The focus is primarily on Truth, not on doctrine, which tends to counteract the closemindedness you would expect from a small, religiously based, college.
