Halfway in I almost expected the conclusion to be to find God. Some many references to religion.

Ah. That's in the reference to Wyoming Catholic University.[1]

"What exactly is our technology policy? It has three parts: (1) no televisions on campus; (2) dorm internet access limited to school email and selected websites for class (public spaces have full internet access); (3) no cell-phones or handheld devices with wireless or cellular data. Students may check their cellphones in with a prefect and check them out when travelling out of town."

"This is freedom for silence, where the soul meets God in deepest interiority."

There's a heavy prayer dosage. The Liturgy of the Hours (prayer 5x a day) is "encouraged". Plus lots of other prayer events, on daily, weekly, and seasonal schedules.[2]

Also, no alcohol, no drugs, no opposite-sex visitors in dorms, and a conservative dress code. "Students who are openly gay and dating, active gay-rights supporters or transgender would be contravening church teaching just by being here".[3]

However, students are allowed to have guns.
