<p>As a current student who is half-Jewish, it is not a problem at all. One of my best friends is Jewish, and he LOVES BC and has never felt unwelcome or anything like that. There is no anti-semitism at all on campus, and there is an active Hillel chapter at BC. They have Shabbat dinner every week together and go to Temple somewhere in Newton in addition to events around Holidays, etc. Yes there are priests on campus, and yes there are crosses in classrooms and the architecture of the main buildings is such that many of them look like churches. But that is as far as the Catholicism at BC goes unless you make an effort to get more involved with Catholic activities here. There are many factors that go into whether or not BC is the right school for your son, but his religious affiliation being different from that of the school should not be one of them. In fact, if he went here, one of the courses he could take to fulfill his theology requirement is a comparison of Christianity and Judaism. BC also has a Jewish studies minor and offers Hebrew as one of the languages taught on campus. Your son would absolutely not be known as the “Jewish kid”, just as another BC student. If you have any follow-up questions, feel free to ask me.</p>
