Also, to Rocky Mountains, I went to Yavne Sem, albeit 20 some years ago. The teachers are AMAZING!!! A few girls came for second year after BJJ, and said Yavne was much better on preparation and teaching one to teach. There is definitely a lot of preparation, and learning is a major focus, but EVERYTHING with a great Hashkafa, and with teachers who really care, whether or not you are a straight A Student.
If you are staying in America, and want a true Mesorah as a continuation of European Yeshivos, and in a warm community, then Yavne is it (esp. if you are into learning). If not, then Detroit is also very nice. Not for girls who are textual, but nice girls, good teachers, warm community, strong Hashkafa.
