    Yehudaj: solid answer, well said. Except R’ Shaya Cohen doesn’t even know my name so I don’t think he was specifically talking to me when he said that CC is the best yeshiva EVER!!!

    ZA Fan: I don’t know if CC’s learning style is impeding my growth or not because I don’t have anything to compare it to. On top of that my rebbeim say that “other yeshivas just shmeer through stuff and don’t really do it justice.”

    chofetzchaim: beautiful story from R’ Krohn, it brought tears to my eyes lol. K, maybe not but its still a good story.

    Just Smile: (But then again as they say – don’t you want to be brainwashed? It’s filthy. It should be washed.) hahahha!!! classic rabbi line

    Anyway the type of thing you just did completely turns me off. I’m gonna assume you’re the one who told every rabbi in my school about this thread so thanks for that its much appreciated. As for all your points you didn’t say anything helpful at all except that you know me and my family and my social security number probably as well. And I would like to talk in private, maybe you could help me a bit more privately then in a thread.

    CCbachur: Yes I’m doing research on the internet because theres more people online then I can ever possibly ask in person, so yes. Now you’ll reply “oh but the people on the internet aren’t the ones you wanna ask for yeshiva advice” and ok granted, good point but then again I don’t really trust my rabbi’s either so I’m getting a little bit from everyone and I’ll make my own decision based on that.

    chofetzchaim: classic chofetz chaim guy’s answers lol but nevertheless well said.

    hate em’: hahahaha!!!! That’s a pretty wide spectrum to choose from but thank you.

    Anyway to everyone giving ridiculously stupid answers or unhelpful ones, I vaguely remember saying I want “constructive” answers only. To everyone else arguing it out with each other, thank you. Also, anyone who thinks I’m gonna make a decision based on what I learn in a random thread online is probably an idiot, or maybe they just think I’m an idiot. I’m just trying to get as much hear-say information as possible

    Bombmaniac: CC and the Mir are not close at all. Mir is one of the fastest paced yeshivas so I don’t know how you could say they’re similar. As for the moderator, that sounds like a direct quote from R’ Shaya Cohen so no need to take it with a grain of salt lol.

    YeshivaBuchar: I never said it wasn’t a good yeshiva I just wanna know if it has the strong points that I’m looking for.

    mraven: you’re comparing apples to oranges. you’re saying “since R’ Dovid ZTL was the successor of the alter…therefore chofetz chaim must be the best yeshiva” lol maybe I haven’t been learning in CC long enough but any thinking person would realize that doesn’t make sense. One thing has no shaychus to the other, or maybe I’m stupid I dunno please enlighten me. As for the whole yeshiva history I have no idea, who said slobadka was the best back in the day?

    As for everyone telling me to do my research thats what I’m doing right now lol. I tried Google-ing it but there isn’t exactly a whole Wikipedia article on CC vs other yeshivas.

    Gavra_at_work: I agree with you that I haven’t mastered a derech halimud, in fact I think I said that earlier. As for my future I just wanna do what I love, and I happen to love learning so it makes sense that I should learn no? besides the fact that its a mitzvah and good and all that stuff. I’m trying to be openminded about work in the future but I just don’t see it happening. So you’re saying if I just wanna learn then theres places better then CC?

    That’s basically my whole Q. Humor me and let’s say that there’s a guy who wins the lottery and he could learn for the rest of his life and not work at all and support his whole family for the next 5 generations. Which yeshiva would be best for him?

    to everyone asking what branch… I’m in the China branch

    haha wow this is getting heated. Let’s take it from the top…

    Chesedname: my local orthodox rabbi doesn’t even know my name I doubt he can decide what yeshiva I go to with confidence.

    Haifagirl: I have a hunch you’re a girl, I dunno what gives it away lol. but no offense I don’t think you could judge how good CC guys are in at learning vs other yeshivas, which leads me to my next point.

    Someone can do daf yomi 2 times and know shaas cold and can quote us gemaras from who knows where and we’ll all ooh and ahh but I don’t think that’s considered learning. It takes a Lamdan to know one. so I personally don’t feel that I have the ability to judge which yeshiva produces better learners…which is why I’m asking you guys 🙂

    Henoch: hahaha my dad wants me to go to gush!!! so yes I’ve spoken to my parents and I definitely do not like what they say.

    Shlomozalman: That’s exactly what I feel, if CC is so great where are all it’s gedolie hador, and also does that mean that the 5000 people in the mir don’t know how to learn? somethings a bit krum there which is kinda ironic because CC is so against krum-ness

    arc: by first year beis medresh I don’t think anyone knows how to learn. Does that mean everybody should go to CC until they learn how to learn? and also who says you can’t learn to learn in other yeshivas?

    ChofetzChaim: I like the quote but I feel like R’ Shaya Cohen said that lol…Just kidding. I do agree with the quote but does that disqualify all other yeshivas and make CC the only one that equips you with the tools to battle the nisyonos we face today?

    Bombmaniac: I agree with you that CC’s style of learning is very appealing, I actually enjoy it a lot, but then again I like learning in general. You could stick me in a bais yaakov navi class and I’ll enjoy it lol (maybe not but you get my point). I was in the Mir in Israel in the summer and they learn solid there as well. I’m just trying to get a grasp of the pros and cons of most major yeshivas out there. I don’t necessarily wanna hear a giant bashing of CC.

    Thanks everyone for the CONSTRUCTIVE input so far its much appreciated.
