| Colleges with a large percent Jewish students

| First of all, the percentages without stating actual student population doesn't give much information. Second, I know at least some of the information you posted is inaccurate. You indicate Georgetown has 23% Jewish students--no way. On the Hillel website, the undergraduate population is 6500 and the Jewish population is 600--I know this anecdotally because my son's best friend attends.
For those who are interested, you can go to the Hillel website and choose "Guide to Jewish Life on Campus" to get this info. | |

| I know 57% is a lot, but I would have thought Brandeis had an even larger Jewish population than that  | |

I double-checked and that is what it said about Georgetown in the book. Don't forget, this is undergrad plus grad. About one third of the grad students at Georgetown are jewish. | |

| The Hillel website is more accurate than the book. The book was put out by Hillel some time ago and then they switched to the online format. Some of the information in the book is not totally up to date. We are an Orthodox Jewish family so getting this kind of information as well as info on kosher, services, etc. was a very big part of son's college search. | |

| I'm from Houston. I have no idea yet where son will end up as he is busy finishing his applications. With one or two exceptions, he's looking out of state. We'll just have to see how things go.... | |

| the sources posted above say UCLA has around 11 or 12% jewish students, but when translated to numbers, that's about 4000 students, which is more than the total population at other universities! and yes, it does feel like there are a lot of jewish students at UCLA. | |
