[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this thread.  Anyone have any recent experience at BC who is jewish?  DC is not particularly religious (reform), but wondering if a jewish kid would feel out of place there.  Apart from the couple of mandatory religion classes (which doesn’t concern me) is there a religious vibe at the school?  Do kids go to mass on Sundays, etc?  DC is friends with a mix of kids in high school, including several Catholics so that in and of itself isn’t a concern, it’s more whether a jewish student would feel out of place in general.  Looks like there’s only about 4% of students there are jewish.  Thanks for any feedback![/quote]

Second hand anecdote but I have a friend who is Jewish whose daughter is there. I expressed surprise that she would choose BC but says it’s not been a problem at all. There are Jewish groups on campus and it’s in Newton, which has a large  Jewish population.[/quote]

Not BC, but my Jewish child loved Georgetown and did not feel out of place at all.[/quote]

Perhaps I am wrong but Georgetown and Boston College seem like very different institutions.[/quote]

They probably both have that alter boy inner circle thing going but many students can exist happily outside of that.[/quote]
