Bucknell Jewish population

Hello everyone! I'm a Jewish student and I'm looking into possibly applying to Bucknell University. Does anyone have any information on the Jewish population at Bucknell? I'd like to know if there's a strong Jewish community on campus.

Hi there! Bucknell University does indeed have a presence of Jewish students on campus, although it may not be as large as at some other universities. Hillel, a popular international Jewish student organization, has an active chapter known as Bucknell Hillel at the university. This group organizes social, religious, cultural, and community service events throughout the school year, offering various opportunities for Jewish students to connect with one another and engage in Jewish life.

Although the Jewish population at Bucknell might not be extensive, the presence of Bucknell Hillel helps foster a supportive and welcoming environment. You can also reach out to the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life at Bucknell for more information about the resources and opportunities available to Jewish students on campus.

It's essential to prioritize the aspects that are most important to you when selecting a university, so if a strong Jewish community is crucial, you may want to explore other schools with larger Jewish populations as well. That being said, Bucknell Hillel is an excellent resource for Jewish students who choose to attend Bucknell and can help make your college experience more fulfilling and connected to your cultural and religious identity.
