Reply to comment by Gileslibrarian in Question about colleges by Aidy9n

St Mike's is a CATHOLIC school. Catholics discriminate against LGBT and Women. So, despite the T-shirts, the Catholic Church considers homosexual tendencies as "objectively disordered". Why would you want to give them any money or support?

I'm aware of the fact it's a catholic school, but it's also in Vermont and catholic colleges vary from openly preaching catholic doctrine to just giving alot of financial aid to poorer students. It's obviously not ideal but it would be 4 times as expensive to go to uvm, so I'm really looking for people with personal experience with the school as opposed to general statements about the catholic church as a whole.

No, that's why I am asking. There isn't a whole lot about the schools culture online.

I can only speak for my experience at St Mikes but it is a progressive and welcoming Vermont Catholic school. Please don’t make assumptions based solely on religious affiliation. I went to a traditional Catholic elementary school that was quite the opposite of St. Mikes.

Responding to the idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about.

St. Mike's is a very welcoming school for the LGBTQ. If you are on instagram, I would advise that you follow the @ knightlife account.
