<p>According to PSU’s Hillel Website there are over 6,000 Jewish students on campus [About</a> Us - Penn State Hillel](<a href=“http://pennstate.hillel.org/home/about.aspx]About”>http://pennstate.hillel.org/home/about.aspx) From looking at the calendar it looks like the Hillel sponsors events every day when it’s not finals. They also sponsor a Jewish alternative spring break, and plenty of other Jewish activities throughout the year. Essentially students at both schools can find a very vibrant Jewish community.</p>
<p>I’d go with Penn State as it’s less expensive, the communications program is still quite good, and I’m not sure the lack of sorority housing is enough of a con to justify the much higher cost of Syracuse.</p>
