<p>Whoa--
My note posted 3x. Sorry. the website froze when I was sending it. The post must have gone to the CC Bermuda triangle or something!</p>
<p>Yeah, I figured it was Blue Star. I never went there, but a friend of mine did and my cousin always wanted to go there.</p>
<p>Jewish life at Duke is very robust with a very good Jewish Center. Please google "Vanderbilt and Jewish students" for a Wall Street Journal article that is very on point about Vandy's efforts to be much more welcoming to Jewish families for undergrads..there is a new Jewish Center and diversity at Vandy is picking up speed greatly. President Gee is a Mormon. Nashville has a lot of Protestant publishing houses but is a very diverse city on many levels--we have lived there twice. </p>
<p>Charleston's Jewish population is very storied and historic in America. I would not underestimate Charleston for Jewish culture and for every other kind of culture. It is a jewel of a city. I do understand that anti semitic attitudes can be located in the South..Catholics can also be targeted for visits by evangelicals in our experience, but there is a lot to be said in for living in the New South where many transient families are settling.</p>
<p>Gee; Blue Star a gamily place for generations</p>
<p>Lots of good suggestions for southern colleges. Central Fl is becoming very popular. If one can afford it, Stetson and Whitman (?) also gaining. Others are sending kids to Lynn U in Boca; threy are offering merit to attract better studnts.</p>
<p>Stetson is considered an unpopular safety at my daughter's school.</p>
<p>I should say is is because we don't like the surounding area, nothing about the academics. I don't know much about Lynne.</p>
<p>My sister is a Jewish kosher vegatarian at UMD and loves it.</p>
