[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's hard enough being in a minority (Jewish), why send your child to a school where they will be a super-minority when there are so many other excellent options?  Would never send our Jewish kids to BC, ND and the like [/quote]

Parents are not "sending", child is "applying".  I think it just depends on the student.  How religious is he?  Does he only date Jewish people?

--Jewish person who was fine at Georgetown.  Yes I saw crosses.  Yes I was part of an inclusive campus with many close friends.  I was not seeking a very Jewish experience so I was not disappointed.[/quote]

Jewish person here - I think Georgetown has a bit of a different vibe than some of the other Catholic schools. I wouldn’t be all that worried about antisemitism at BC per se - a lot of the issues right now are at more liberal schools (and I’m liberal) but I’d be worried that as a Jew my child would be sort of out of the loop at BC, Villanova and the like - not everyone but a large number of students will be sort of culturally Catholic even if not super religious and you child may feel sort of left out. I’m thinking a lot Catholic geography instead of Jewish geography you know? [/quote]
