<p>mish, and whenwillallthisbever,
if you read up on this website they have tons of info on the subject. my college councelors daughter went to brandesi and she said that although theres 50% jews and a separate kosher caf, its really a personal decision. as long as your not offensive to those who are religious i think youll be fine. they have to be chillaxed about it or they wouldnt have any kids there, right? i know that they have a mosque and a church on campus (on near)</p>
<p>hey cocacola12oz, im in. i even started a thread for the class of 2010.</p>
