MMY is more academic than Michlalah. It’s also a very different style of learning. Nearly half the time is spent on Chevrusa learning, and you have Night Seder at night until close to 10:00 pm. Michlalah is classes and homework and you finish at a normal hour (no night seder).
What’s wrong with being on Neve Campus? I always think of that as a maaleh. It’s a really gorgeous campus, and there are lots of other seminaries there. It’s also a nice experience to get to know the Neve girls.
