<p>Just spoke to my son. He says he knows lots of Jewish kids at WPI. He pointed out that kids don’t use websites to communicate information at all, so the fact that the Hillel website seems out of date is irrelevant. Clubs often have Facebook pages or use text messages to communicate activities.
We also checked out many of the schools mentioned in this thread. Does he have any specific majors in mind?
Aside from the usual differences in location, and size etc. there is a distinct difference between schools that are STEM dominant versus liberal arts dominant. Examples would be Union versus RPI or WPI. My son he decided preferred the geekier vibe at WPI and similar schools. Your son might feel the opposite way, preferring to be surrounded by people who are not all studying engineering/math/Computer Science. So the culture can be very different! Something to keep in mind…</p>
