Colleges with High Jewish Student Populations

Hi guys, I was trying to figure out which colleges have a significant Jewish student population. I think this kind of environment would be comfortable and familiar for me. Any thoughts?

Sure, many universities across the U.S. have robust Jewish populations. These communities usually have active Hillel or Chabad organizations, which serve to support and foster the Jewish community on campus.

For instance, the University of Florida is known to have one of the largest Jewish student populations in the country, with plenty of cultural and religious resources specifically for Jewish students. Rutgers University in New Jersey also has a significant Jewish population.

If you're interested in pursuing studies in the northeastern part of the U.S., Brandeis University in Massachusetts has a large Jewish community, which isn't surprising since it was founded as a non-sectarian university by the American Jewish community.

Yale University, Harvard University, and the University of Pennsylvania within the Ivy League are also known to have substantial Jewish student populations.

On the west coast, UCLA and UC Berkeley have sizeable Jewish communities, and on the south, Tulane University holds a strong Jewish representation.

Be sure to double-check with each institution's specific statistics and organizations, like Hillel or Chabad. It could provide you a better picture of the Jewish community and the resources available on their campuses. You might also want to consider if the school offers Jewish Studies as a possible major or minor if you're interested in studying that as well.
