Colleges for a religious Jew?

@rjkofnovi No problem, just clarifying. :slight_smile:

@jym626 No- are there good options? I’ve been to Toronto once, so I don’t really know what’s in Canada.

@hs2015mom I will do so once I can sit down with my parents. It’s kind of hectic right now and I haven’t had a chance to talk to them.

@uskoolfish The Hillel kitchen is unsupervised, but they claim to have two kitchens that are supervised. That indicates to me a level of observance I’d be good with, but I could be wrong (never having done this before).

@SlitheyTove Obviously I’ll have to work out a plan so that I concentrate on the schools I really want to go to (and could if I got in). You’re right that there are a lot of colleges on my list; I think that I’m going to end up having to cut quite a few of them just because of time constraints. Do you have a suggestion for a way to search?

@uskoolfish Thank you, that’s really helpful. I’ll show that to the people helping me (a strange number of family members have taken an interest and they know a ton more about this stuff than I do.)

@SDonCC I personally identify as Modern Orthodox- regardless of religiousness, that’s the denomination I need a community of. But yeah, Charedim, Chassidim, some Conservative people and I’m sure more I’m not thinking of can be extremely religious to the point that some of them wouldn’t consider me frum. It’s not just Orthodox people.

@uskoolfish Enough students for a daily minyan is definitely important. I would never remember to daven otherwise. To be honest, I don’t go to minyan daily now, so I could do without, but I want to become more religious throughout college rather than less.
I personally can’t tell denominations on site terribly well, but apparently lots of people can (twice this week random strangers have asked me what temple I go to), so I’ll trust you. :slight_smile: That’s useful information, thank you.

I am having a bit of a stressful home situation at the moment, so I might be delayed in responding. Sorry about that in advance.
