text: I attended Vic for four years (South House) and then was a Don at St. Mike's for a year while I was in professional school.  First, neither Vic or St. Mike's are satellite campuses.  Those of us who attended those colleges think that they are rather the centre of campus life.  While it is possible things have changed over the years (I admit its been a few decades) since I was there, I found the students at St. Mike's far more willing to engage in rigorous intellectual debate about all sorts of topics, even abortion, than those at Vic.   As the only non-Roman Catholic Don in the residence I was impressed with the students receptiveness to ideas that were counter to Roman Catholic orthodoxy.  That is not to say that there aren't students who have racist and Islamophobic ideas at St. Mike's, but I wonder whether the members of student council (who are often more interested in padding their resume than actually doing anything substantive) are reflective of the St. Mike's student body.
