Jewish at boston college?

<p>I can’t speak for BC, but my sister attended College of the Holy Cross, which is also a Jesuit university and a local rival to BC.</p>

<p>While my family is Catholic, I was always under the impression that while religion is a part of Holy Cross’s identity, the professors are more interested in students who want to learn. Jesuits are among the most open-minded, liberal thinking religious orders I know. I know a bunch of people at Holy Cross who are not Catholic, and my sister’s roommate was half-Jewish from a religiously apathetic family. I was told by another friend that people who held no interest in baseball would be more dubiously regarded at Holy Cross than an atheist.</p>

<p>I would be shocked if a Jewish student attending either college found his or her religion to hinder any sort of social activities beyond a certain asynchrony in the timing of holidays and weekly services.</p>

<p>BC’s reputation beyond its identity of a Catholic school, and the number of non-Catholic students who attend is probably the best answer to your question.</p>
