16. University of Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The University of Pennsylvania's Hillel claims to reach some 90 percent of the school’s approximately 1,700 Jewish undergraduates, whether through its dedicated soup kitchen or the J*Stage Theatre Company. Over 40 Hillel student communities and programs are housed in the state of the art Steinhart Hall, which includes a kosher dining hall and Beit Midrash. Chabad also offers Shabbat meals and an array educational programs, including the Sinai Scholars’ Society and a Jewish Heritage Internship. Despite this positive environment, Jewish students may still face some challenges at U Penn. The school's SJP held its second “Israeli Apartheid Week” in April 2017, shortly after screening a movie supportive of the BDS campaign. That same month, Nazi recruitment flyers were found on campus, drawing condemnation from the administration. (Photo credit: Wikipedia.)
