Jesuit associated college?

You really shouldn’t have anything to worry about. It might just be me, but I’ve met quite a few Jewish people here… there’s definitely groups for Jewish people (a fraternity and a program you can do before you get here kind of like pre-orientation), and even a place to worship on campus.

Honestly, the biggest influence Georgetown’s Jesuit identity has is on its views on sexual health. This is under debate right now, and has actually become somewhat of a hot issue recently. Georgetown doesn’t sell condoms on campus. The pro-choice group is not allowed to be associated with the university (they have to call themselves H*yas for Choice instead of Hoyas For Choice), and they are only allowed to table in a certain area. Also, if you were to get counseling for being pregnant, they aren’t allowed to bring up different methods of contraception unless you do. For some people, this is a big deal, and for others, it doesn’t matter.
