The University of Alabama, in the heart of the Deep South, has a surprisingly large Catholic student population.


Not sure why that's surprising to the whomever wrote the article.

Anyone who has spent time at Alabama or knows the middle/coastal parts of the state knows there are sizeable Catholic populations due to the French, much like Louisiana.

It is a little surprising it's as high as 7,000. That's almost 25% of the student population. I'd have never predicted it to be that high, even with the Mobile kids and how many out of state kids now attend UA.

I grew up in Prattville and graduated UA in 2010. I knew 1 catholic family growing up. Didn't notice a sizable catholic presence on campus.

Surprising to me.

Then again I'm not from Alabama.

Just assumed.
