<p>We are conservative Jews who live in a major metropolitan city in the southwest US. We are not religious. My son was recruited for athletics by a coach at Sewanee. After exploring this issue in depth, it became quite clear to me that there is essentially NO Jewish life at Sewanee. If that is important to yourself and/or your daughter, I would encourage you to look for other college options. My suggestion is based on conversations with numerous individuals including staff and faculty members as well as current and former students. The education is great, but if Jewish life is at all important you should look elsewhere.</p>
