<p>UA actually has a long history of Jewish students. During the Great Depression, UA advertised its lack of quotas, warm weather, and low OOS rates to Jewish students in New York and New Jersey and they came in droves. When combined with the Jewish students who were raised in the south, Jewish students made up a third of the campus population. While that percentage has gone down since then, it is not uncommon to have a Jewish kid from New York come down to attend UA because (s)he is a third or fourth generation student. The campus Hillel organization is very active and is even building a new building for themselves just off campus.</p>
<p>That is very interesting. I don’t know if they are building a new Hillel building, but they are building a new temple. Thanks for sharing SEA_Tide.</p>

<p>It is shocking to look back and remember that the ivies and the sisters used to have Jewish quotas.</p>
