If he wants to get out of the New York area, there is a strong frum community at the University of Maryland, College Park (just outside Washington, DC). If he wants to learn part of the day he can learn at the Yeshiva of Greater Washington. UMCP has an all-you-can-eat kosher dining hall, several minyanim daily. Because it’s a large university, the academic offerings and departments are much broader than at Touro or YU. It’s not for everyone, though; it is a public university, and with that comes a certain reputation, which will certainly be mitigated if he lives off-campus. But if he wants to get “the college experience,” he will certainly get it at UMCP.
