1. OMG, did somebody suggest it is???
It's more like Notre Dame--nominally associated with a religious denomination, but about as secular a school as you'll find.

6. Oh, heavily implied: "RW BMW crowd" is all over the threads
And, apparently it being Laura Bush's alma mater and the future home of teh W Library makes it a Freeper school.

HA! I just told Haruka it's like Villanova or Notre Dame.

...almost went there on scholarship, btw. And the suggestion that it's a religious school (in anything but name only) is just hilarious.

Edited to send a big :hi: to Haruka!

19. Yes, both points are true. See Kitty Kelley's book. It explains it in detail, and
there are endnotes as well! A few of her college classmates corroborated the assertion.
