High Jewish Population Universities?

I'm looking for universities with a sizable Jewish student population, and I'm curious if anyone's got suggestions on where to start my search. Can you share some colleges or universities that have a high Jewish percentage? I'd really appreciate it!

Sure! Here's a list of colleges and universities with a significant Jewish student population. Please keep in mind that the percentages I'm providing are approximate values and may not perfectly represent the current student population.

1. Yeshiva University - Located in New York City, Yeshiva University has a nearly 100% Jewish student population. It's an obvious choice for those looking for a strongly Jewish environment.

2. Brandeis University - This private research university in Waltham, Massachusetts, was founded by the American Jewish community and currently has a Jewish population of around 40-50%.

3. New York University - In Greenwich Village, New York City, NYU has a large Jewish population of about 20-30%.

4. University of Pennsylvania - This prestigious Ivy League institution located in Philadelphia has a Jewish population of around 25%.

5. University of Maryland - The College Park campus has a sizable Jewish population of around 20%.

6. University of Michigan - As a large public research university in Ann Arbor, UMich also maintains a Jewish student population of around 15-20%.

7. University of Wisconsin - Madison's public research university has a Jewish student population hovering around 10-15%.

8. Rutgers University - This public university in New Jersey also hosts a Jewish population of around 10-15%.

9. Tulane University - Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, Tulane has a Jewish population of about 20-25%.

10. Emory University - This private research university in Atlanta, Georgia, holds a Jewish student population of around 15%.

These are just a few examples. As you consider these schools, keep in mind that factors like academic programs, size, location, and campus culture might be just as important as the size of the Jewish community. I recommend researching each school individually to see if it aligns with your preferences and values. Additionally, paying attention to the presence of active Hillel or Chabad chapters on campuses can help you find a strong, welcoming Jewish community in your college experience. Good luck with your college search!
