potpie: i have about 7-8 girls in my class that applied this year for Nachlas. Nachlas is academic, but the Hashkofos are great. My friends that applied are all girls from good homes, Bais Yaakov style. Its outakownish, unlike Tiferes.
I think that Seminar and BYA are more open.
fabie: heared about Yavne, Cleveland? its a very good seminary. the stuff is very warm, its yeshivish. but i think that they are very into studing and learning… not sure.
OR: Maalot Baltimore. its a two year program, but you can stay for one year only. the place itself is yeshivish but more open than cleavlend.
Hatzlocho finding the right place…
