funny how it goes...
I'm going to University College Dublin, which used to be the "Catholic University" of a Catholic country, so you'd think Catholicism would be everywhere, right? Well, no: it's a flipping den of iniquity, the Chlamydia Capital, with so much drinking they had to hire security. There are a few Muslim students, who don't seem to mind.

There is something called the Newman Society, named after Cardinal Newman, the first rector, but they don't seem to do anything - makes me wonder if it's a secret society. There is a church on campus, which puts up the occasional notice of e.g. Easter mass. The priest is also one of the student advisors, but on the one occasion I saw him he didn't mention religion at all. Basically, my experience has been the opposite of yours: the former "Catholic University of Ireland" is practically a religion-free zone.
