yeshiva/college

Are you modern orthodox or baal habatish?

Depends on your hashkafos but your best options are ohr hachaim, landers or shaar yoshuv. ohr hachaim has the added bonus that you can go to queens college if you want and yeshiva credits taken there are considered to be full touro college credits and not transfers.

Landers has college every day instead of second seder while ohr hachaim and shaar yoshuv are two nights a week instead of night seder.

Mods, can we please close this thread? Not because it’s not a legitimate question, but because this thread will take the following trajectory:

1) Someone will see a perceived attack on Touro’s academics and feel the need to defend it.

2) Someone will see a defense of Touro’s academics and feel the need to attack it.

3) Someone will see an attack on Touro and feel the need to attack YU in response.

4) A pro-YU/anti-YU flame war will commence.

5) In the middle of said flame war, random people will enter and talk about how this undefinable “Modern Orthodoxy” is the root of all evil.

6) Said flame war will continue until you mods get bored of it and close the thread.

So, why don’t we all save some time, read the last flame war thread, and just close this one now?

Mexipal, perhaps you should take your own advice – if you don’t have a way to say something nicely, please don’t talk.

Think of Ner Yisroel Baltimore and U of Maryoand, Hopkins or other great options. Eclectic chevra, massive gentle slid shiurim and Rabbaim, great facility, ability to immerse without distraction, and almost 2.5 times the scheduled # of learning hours over many other options…… 7 days a week, 42 weeks a year, 2 or 3 sedorimm a day……… reach for higher. Talmud Torah intense pounding plus earning a degree.

Solid citizens come form there………

pba: The flamewar will happen naturally. You don’t have to force it.

1. What do you want to do for a living? For example, to be a doctor you want to go to a “real” university, with known high standards.

An easy to obtain “Bachelor of Talmudic Law” meets requirements for jobs that have only a nominal requirement for a degree, but won’t get you far in professions with more rigorous or competitive standards.

2. Depending on majors, one can do a degree through distance education.

3. If you want to go to college to get educated (as opposed to getting access to a career), you are already off the derekh so why worry.

I dont recommend YU, not because of its Hashkafa, but because of the cost. Last I heard I think it was about $40,000 a year. A four year degree will cost at least $160,000 (Probably Higher)

Queens or Brooklyn College is about $5500 a year and the 4 year degree will cost you about $25,000. You need to earn a living to pay those costs. Its alot easier to pay back $25,000 than $160,000

And no a Tuoro degree is not as good as a YU or Queens/Brooklyn College degree. If you are going to invest time and money into a degree , get a decent one

OP, im not going to get involved in the above hashkafah battle, just a word of advice. Be careful from places that offer “REAL bachelors” degrees in their Yeshivas. MANY colleges will NOT honor transfer credits from Excelsior, or Thomas Edison college where some yeshivas get their guys credits from.

Whichever program you choose make sure that it is an accredited respected program and will allow you to go on to a better or Graduate program should you choose.

YU is adjusting their tuition based on family income

wow this forum is so funny with the back and forth argueing…feels like im in HS again..LOL
