i got a survey to fill out about my experience of antisemitism on my university campus and while i'm cool with sharing my opinion for data purposes (the results are all anonymized anyway) i wish there had been a field somewhere to clarify that my university has a vanishingly small jewish population (could probably be counted in the low teens, if even that high, in the entire university), absolutely zero jewish life on campus like hillel or chabad or even an interfaith club, and is, in terms of social/political climate, very out of the ordinary when it comes to the majority of american schools

#i wanna talk about me #like not to dox myself but something like 80% of the student body is self ID practicing catholic #now that might only be a statistic of the undergrad population and i am no longer in undergrad #and the grad population (especially in my fields of study but also i think university wide) are more diverse than that #but also the grad population isn't the same kind of. let's say captive audience as the undergrad campus housed population yk #so like me saying in a survey that i don't experience much if any antisemitism on campus #and that there has been zero significant change in the way i have experienced campus since simchat torah #well it's true. but i feel the need to add the disclaimer that i very much attend an outlier of a school here #same w the jewish life question like i Would participate in it gladly. if it existed #but it doesn't. we just have 45869 different flavors of catholic student orgs to choose from #still though. i'd rather be here than.....basically any other school in the area rn. as a jew.
