    There are over 8,000 Jews at my university, and around 1,500 keep kosher, so yeah, a sticker wouldnt work. But the sticker thing sounds nice. Then Id be able to eat breakfast with my ROTC buddies instead of eating my lonely breakfast in my dorm room since if you arent on the non-kosher meal plan you can eat in the non-kosher dining hall and the breakfasts at the kosher dining hall suck.

    Still, 8,000 Jews in one institution - just doesn't happen.

    The idea that we'd have 8,000 anyone in one place is just... yeah.

    Pretty large?

    My school had 34,000

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    American universities are usually very large. States like California have many uni's but since there is a high population, most of them are in the tens of thousands. My uni is ~27,000.

    States that have a low number of universities can be extremely large despite the state having a relatively low population.

    Here's something that will blow your mind @​Psychonaut, Arizona State University has 72,000 students.

    Already do that. In fact, I hung out with a few non-Jewish friends and we went to get a cheeseburger. First time ever having a legitimate cheeseburger. Tasted quite good.

    Also they introduced me to real bacon.

    Oh wow.

    Well my university is unique since there are a lot of Jews in the state its situated in so they come here. And over the years its developed a reputation for being the most "Jewish yet secular" college in the US.

    'Also they introduced me to real bacon.'

    So now you finally know why they are wailing at walls, bacon is tasty. Ostrich bacon is pretty close by the way if you don't feel like eating pig, good steak as well, awesome meat-bird very versatile
