Lots of Jews at Wisconsin and Emory. UT-Austin is gigantic and very diverse so I would consider it. Not sure about Charleston. UofSC would give me pause.

Not too many anywhere. Just meant don't need Tulane UMD like where it's known to be more Jewish. I went to maryland and loved however.

Yea I can see that. UGA has atlanta nearby and they have Hillel.
