Religion at Princeton: An Analysis of Catholic and Jewish Students

Abstract

Princeton University is a secular college. The college still offers many religious organizations in order to accompany students of all faiths. The goal of my research is to define some of the characteristics of a Jewish and a Catholic student group and differentiate between individuals of the two faiths. Through interviewing students inside and outside of the groups, I hope to define a lot of the major characteristics and differences between people of Jewish and Catholic faith. This research is purely qualitative, and I hope the results will reveal how many Princeton students react to religion at an individual level.
