Today's Queens College student body has one of the largest and most diverse Jewish student populations in the country.

Every year, nearly 4,000 Jewish students enroll in Queens College, about 20% of the total student population. Our campus is a mosaic of Jewish communities: Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Israelis, Americans, Persians, Russians, Bukharians (from Uzbekistan, FSU), Georgians (from Republic of Georgia, FSU), and more!
