How vibrant is the Jewish Community at UVA? Would a Jewish, very social girl from NYC have a hard time fitting in? Thank you
Hillel estimates 1k Jews making it a top 60 nationwide. A lot 5%+.
What worked for my daughter - contact Hillel and discuss with them. They’ll be honest. And ask them for a student or two to speak with.
If you visit campus, set up a meeting or lunch with a student. My daughter did both.
I hope you get a direct response from a family here but doing some legwork on your own can bring comfort - or eliminate a school. My daughter had both - some, with honest feedback from Hillel she took off or at least had concern. Others - from talking with students or leadership, all concerns were alleviated.

While it is no Florida, Maryland, Michigan or Indiana, it has a solid population.
