Lior:
Writersoul wrote “Just to, in all seriousness, address DY” so why would you expect your question to be addressed therein? But anyway it was sort of addressed: “But those who want something more can find it very easily here, and that’s something that I wouldn’t give up for the world. Living in Eretz Yisrael is one thing (and a really big thing- going to the kotel Friday afternoon, on a whim, is not the sort of thing I’d be able to do while attending college in New York)”
Now maybe you were preempting what I just said when you wrote “You can attend domestic seminary and get the virtually the same primary benefits you’ve cited” with the word “virtually” coming to exclude the benefit which I just quoted, or perhaps the word “primary” coming to exclude the benefit which I just quoted.
