[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I went there the school runs a bit white christian. I am Jewish and many of the kids there never met anyone who was Jewish (many were from small towns in Indiana). This was many years ago though. Because of all the kids coming in from the East coast, I'm sure the Jewish population has grown a bit and hopefully cultural advances have been made since I was last there. I lived in one of the smaller hippy dorms (Collins) and there was a good mix of POC, artists, free spirits, etc. But most of the school is not like that.[/quote]

That's so weird because IU is in the top 60 schools by Jewish population. It's number 57 when calculating by percent Jewish (12%) and is number 9 when counting by number (4,000 students).

I have never set foot in Indiana, and we added that school to our list specifically because of the large Jewish population (and we've heard good things about it).[/quote]

I went there in the late 90s for my MPA (top program, FYI, frequently ranks higher than the Kennedy school) and my good friend from the program who is Jewish still lives there and from FB appears to have a strong Jewish community there. It’s a college town, so it’s not going to reflect that it’s a part of the state that gave us Mike Pence.

And we saw LOTS of black lawn jockeys in front yards on the drive from the Illinois border to Bloomington when I was moving there. Enough that it still sticks out 20 years later. [/quote]
