I went on the all girls birthright trip 2 years ago. I had a very mixed crowd, a lot of lubavitch girls, some bais yaakov girls from brooklyn, and some YU kind of girls. I just met someone a few days ago who went this past winter and she had a basically all bais yaakov type of group and the madrichas were also bais yaakov. She had a fantastic time! It depends on your group and what kind of personality you have if you’ll enjoy it. We did have an option to a go to a bar one night, and whoever was interested went. Trips were really good and extending your ticket is really cheap so I stayed an extra week. The hechsher was good, we ate very nicely. They serve 2 meals a day so the third one they drop you off on teh steet to find a good restaurant.

It was totally worth it, we went on great trips and everything was free and i extended my trip for a 100 bux or something like that. Great experience! Go with friends though if your quiet type. And no you can’t leave the group EVER but there was time for people to visit you on Motzai shabbos. Go with friends and you’ll love it!

I went on the all girls trip last January.

Some things to keep in mind:

-each trip is diff, some more bais yaakov type and some not. My trip had a big mix, but few yeshivish bais yaakov type.

-like the others just posted, plenty of oppertunities to go to bars

-very zionist tour guides, the focus is zionism and the Land of Israel. Some speeches are straight from historia classes on what the zionists said in the olden days. sitting in a classroom you think it’s funny what they said, but hearing ppl saying the same things….basically keep your haskafos straight from what you learnt.

-tell your friend to extend her ticket if she wants to daven at kevarim and get the spiritual side of eretz yisroel.It’s dirt cheap to extend your ticket and totally worth it.Birthright doesnt take you to kever rochel or mearos hamachpaila. we went to the rambam’s kever i think, but that was it.

-go with friends, don’t go alone.

anonymisss- im actually not looking at the jewish programs, too expensive and SOME arent on a high education level to actually learn something. a paralegal is being the lawyers slave without getting paid enough. physical therapist is too physically hard for me and computer programmer is with computers and i dont like the screen kind of job. i actually am interested in audiologist but seems like u need a phd. i want to be a history proffesor but takes years and gotta teach until then and make no money. so nothing is working out so far, keep the ideas coming! what masters did u go back to school for??

im half way done my b.a. and im thinking of doing the reading specialist masters. i thought there’s jobs for reading specialist!! anyone know how the job market in nj is for such jobs?

what are the top jobs that are not flooded yet and pay well???

does anyone know an easy way to cover cabinet shelves and the sides without sitting for hours taping silver foil or shelving paper on? thanks!

havesomeseichel-my question was do you need SAT to get into grad

school or to get scholarships in grad school?

you need SAT to get into grad school or to get scholarships and loans for grad

school?

i’m applying for ot, if anyone knows of a school that excepts degrees from excelsior

i would appreciate it.

i’ve been researching ot schools, downstate is the cheapest

and the most accommodating about yom tov etc. tons of jewish people there. but like

kapusta said, its crazy hard to get in. basically you have to do observing hours, and you

need CPR.

it varies depending on the school your applying to. temple university has frum girls

there and i heard they are very nice to them and the girls like it. theres also

kean-its cheaper and stockton-very hard to get into. there’s seton hall-expensive, christian and i dont know of any jewish girls there. seems like temple and kean

is the place where a lot of jewish girls are. nyu is expensive and have to make

everything up when you miss is bec of yom tov. you have to travel but it doesnt sound

too difficult to get in.

one thing i heard from ppl in pt graduate schools is that its horrible

and there’s a lot of issues with tznius and the dress code you have to wear

for the exercises. even touro is like this. they have a little michitzah for

the two frum girls but everyone can still see if they walk a few steps over.

anon for this you said you can take ap test without taking the course. so if your school

doesnt give ap classes you can take it? i researched this whole thing and you could take

the test but theyll place you in a public school closest to you and theyll talk to your

college advisor to place you. but no such thing a lakewood girls school-advisor for college! it seems

like the only way to do it is by going a public school to take it. any other ways you know about? thanks!

to take a clep you can go to the library or clep gemach in lakewood and take out a

clep book. you study it and register to take a test on the material at a college

testing site. most average colleges except them. raizel rite excepts them, thomas edison

ocean county college. better colleges except up to 12 clep credits. but if your going

to a state college theyll except most of them. other private colleges will only except 12 and in only certain subjects that they specify you can. its definitely worth taking them, theyre cheap and if your smart youll pass the test. a pass is a 50!

i have 15 credits just from 4 tests that i took over the past few summers. i worked and

studied a little bit at night. its a great thing to do and saves tons of time!
