Saint Vincent is a traditional Catholic college, located just outside of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Student life is described as unique because of its proximity to the monastery and influence of the Benedictine community. Because of this, Saint Vincent College has a strong concentration of monks. It is very much dedicated to community service and groups of students travel every year to Calcutta, India, to serve in Mother Theresa’s mission. Inside Higher Ed published an article about Saint Vincent College entitled “Too Catholic, Even for Many Monks” in which the author discusses students’ concerns in regards to college’s drift to the right. Some of president’s decisions included Internet filter which blocked sites related to pornography, gambling and “mature content”. Other causes of dissatisfaction included overemphasizing faith.
