Texas A&M Hillel

Both my undergraduate and graduate experiences would not have been the same without Texas A&M Hillel! The programming has flourished with the completion of the new building, and it is a wonderful space that several organizations within the Jewish community here utilize.
Everyone at Hillel is very welcoming, and there are a variety of options for those who are interested in being involved in Jewish life on campus. There are social, religious, and learning opportunities, and students are encouraged to explore Judaism in ways that are the most comfortable to them! Shabbat dinners are great, and the staff are very open to feedback from students. Hillel also has connections to many opportunities through Hillel International, AIPAC, Birthright, etc., and many students (including myself) have been able to go on heavily subsidized trips.
I met some of my best friends here, so if you are new to College Station you should definitely stop by on Friday night!

This Hillel didn’t provide the early formulative experiene that it’s counterpoint at the University of Iowa had. And although I didn’t always have the best experience with the Executive Director, I had a lot of fun here, learned a lot, and met some really great people who remain friends to this very day.
Before it got changed to George Bush Drive, the Hillel on Jersey was a welcome place on Shabbat, during the week, and during my conversion studies. It was also a great social outlet during Bonfire (just across the street at that time), road trips, Purim shots, and just hanging out on campus.
