GO SEMINAR!!!! it’s open for 30 years!!!! That’s a lot of experience and a great reputation!!
But don’t worry, it got much better since the first years…
And BTW- not sure if Bnos Sarah is 10 years old yet…
Shul- why don’t you look into Seminar? They are the same type of BY girls as these two sems. Plus they are very academic too, and they even have an honors track for the smarter student.
In addition, they are very warm and caring and there for their girls.
Seminar is academic!!
They’re great about Shabbos. We were never stranded. The dorm is open whenever you want to stay in and if not, they find you a place in the area you want. And if you need just partial, like a meal or a place to sleep, they help you with that too.
Also- second day meals on Yomtov, there are staff members who keep only one day and prepare meals just for the girls so they shouldn’t have to beg by the young couples who keep two days!!!!
I don’t know about Ateres, but I can tell you about Seminar.
It’s really a good place. Good Frum BY girls. They are very caring. Have amazing teachers and amazing classes. They have the best ymei iyun!! For real!!
Also- the dorm is very nice and comfortable. All the rooms are air conditioned!! And the BEST food!! A real good American cook!!!
I heard they have changed a lot for this coming year, stronger BY type, and they’re very on top of the tznius. I heard they have a new program- something about the next step- preapring the girls for the next step in life- how to find a job that’s your type, preparing for job interviews, etc..
Let me know if you have questions! I love it so much and would love to help you have that experience too!!
So not! Kayla1994, you talk like you were there in 1994,you’re not updated at all..I was just in Seminar and the dorm is gorgeous. They have a student lounge on each floor, so there’s always someplace to go, with couches and computer/printer . There’s a separate computer room on the main floor with email access, no internet access anywhere, and a gorgeous lounge and library on the dining room floor. A very nice piano, I play, so I ought to know.
Also they renovated the dorm and made new bathrooms and showers, gorgeous..there’s always hot water, most dorms have only a few hours a day.
My sister said they’re installing a/c in the dorms now.
The place is spotless, they clean it all the time.
And they have a lot of work so there’s not that much free time, but the pressure’s not bad, except of course, certain times of year.
They got pretty strict on the dress code and other stuff, not sure what you’re talking about that they forget, they really don’t.
The staff is always there for you, really amazing.
Our teachers are the Guest Speakers in other seminaries.
They’re having a great year, I visited recently, and it was so great to see Mrs. Flam and Mrs. Weichleder and all the others. I actually went twice so I could see everyone.
They really care and it’s the best place.
You’ll have a great year, and really take it with you. Good luck If you have any other questions, I’ll gladly answer.
Oh and I forgot about the Shabbatonim..They are beyond. They just went on a SHabbaton (my sisters there now) and they were there from Thursday, it was gorgeous and the girls had an amazing time.theyre very generous..with everything,
