I cannot say there is no one at Tulane that doesn’t feel that way, but in general I suspect your friend is reading more into the “looks” than really exist. Tulane students in particular are often attracted to the school because it is so embracing of everyone and looks to serve all people, including Muslims.

I cannot tell you what to do or know how comfortable you would be doing it, but if I were you and this remained a concern after moving in at Tulane, I would confront the situation directly. How? By contacting the rabbi in charge of Hillel and telling him exactly what you are thinking. Even perhaps suggesting ways for you to get to know members and them you. Eventually perhaps you could show them what goes on in a typical mosque as opposed to what they might get from television.

In other words, perhaps it is an opportunity, if you are the type of person that can turn it into one.
