RJ College Guide

RJ Insider

The 4th Annual RJ Insider’s Guide to College Life has just been published (a Reform Judaism magazine project in partnership with Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life and the Union for Reform Judaism).

This annual guide was created to assist high school students in making their college choices through a Jewish lens and finding funding; and help college students in exploring their Jewish identity and coping with various challenges on campus.

An up-to-date chart shows the Top 60 schools Jews choose with most everything Jewish students would wish to know about them (number and % of Jews, Jewish fraternities/sororities, Reform/egalitarian services on campus, etc.); and the Top 20 schools ranked by percentage of Jewish population.
