Hillel's Top 10 Jewish Schools
February 16, 2006
Comments (1) | Add
One of the most common questions people ask Hillel during the college-application process is "Which school has the most Jewish students?"

The answer may be found on Hillel's online Guide to Jewish Life on Campus, which provides complete population statistics on hundreds of colleges and universities around the world, along with a wealth of information on campus activities. Convenient drop-down boxes enable users to search by location, availability of kosher dining and many other criteria.

But for those who don't like mysteries, here are the top 10 universities, both public and private, based on the number of Jewish undergraduates enrolled. Please note that these figures are approximate and based on reports from the Hillel professionals serving these campuses.

Top 10 Public Universities
1. University of Maryland, College Park; University of Florida, Gainesville (5,400)

Could someone please tell me where I can find a FULL list of colleges which note the attendance of Jewish students?

The data is needed for personal research.
