OK, this thread is spinning out of control. If a Jewish parent or applicant doesn’t feel comfortable at BC (or Georgetown, HC, ND, etc.) that is ok. No apologies necessary and no explanation required. College selection is all about comfort/ fit. Please do not equate this feeling with discrimination or “reducing someone as a person”. Likewise, if a rural kid doesn’t feel at home at Columbia, or a city kid doesn’t like Colby. Same goes for a politically conservative person feeling uncomfortable at Brown, or a liberal person feeling uncomfortable at Washington and Lee. Visit a variety of schools that fit your academic profile and interests and enroll in the school that fits your needs, wants and aspirations. No school is perfect, but to say that BC doesn’t welcome all types of people in 2019 is untethered from reality (at best) or an exercise in mischief making on a public forum.
