If you haven’t got the university place you wanted and are now going through clearing, the Union of Jewish Students has a helpline to advise on Jewish facilities on campus.
UJS president Josh Holt says, “Going to university is the start of a really exciting period, but it can be daunting, especially if you don’t get the A-level or college results you hoped for.
“So if you’re doing clearing or adjustment and would like to find out about Jewish life on campuses you hadn’t previously considered — from social life and synagogues to kosher food and accommodation — just give us a call.”
While Birmingham, Leeds and Nottingham are powerhouses of Jewish student life, Liverpool and Scottish universities are apparently becoming increasingly popular destinations.
