**While many evangelical students have a lifetime of Bible camps and strong Christian schools, few Catholic students bring a similarly strong catechetical background with them to college.**

Wondering if this is really true?

Having grown up in a (nominally) very Catholic state (and I’m Roman Catholic myself) my experience, albeit anecdotal says yes, this is true. Maybe some young people who’ve done the whole K-12 thing in parochial school might stay strong with the faith, but those who’ve done the public school/CCD thing tend to forget it once they’ve made their confirmation. Catholics generally don’t do the Sunday school, bible camp thing either.
