If the OP in this topic is accurate, it is very depressing. If the responses are accurate, I should go buy a faster vehicle to race off the derech.
Fortunately, I don’t think the responses are accurate. You should get in touch with Ner Yisroel – they are perhaps the best combination of a stable institution with a diverse student body. They understand that it is their mission to facilitate Torah, not to sell it at a markup to the people who could have it anyway (and then expect kavod to boot). They are meticulous about tuition, but IME experience tend to be reasonable as well.
