Jewish Life on Campus: Connecting
Most colleges will have resources and opportunities for Jewish students to connect.
From free trips to Europe and Israel to chicken soup when you’re sick, BBQs and football games, classes, game nights, and intriguing lectures - there’s something for everyone!
Living on Campus: Location Matters
Freshman typically live in a designated part of campus. But, if you plan on engaging with Hillel or Chabad fairly often, you may want to live closer to the hub of Jewish life.
If you keep kosher, you will want to live close to where you’ll be getting your food. That may not be the freshmen dorms!
Kosher on Campus: Consider This
If keeping kosher is important to you, it’s important to ask specific questions.
Is your school serving fresh kosher food or airplane meals? Not all Hillels serve kosher food or maintain a certification.
Chabad programming is a great place for frequent and free food. Some schools provide kosher grab & go sandwiches and salads in a central location.
