One point about Yavne, Cleveland:
Some girls think that if they don’t live in a dorm, they’re missing out on a major part of the sem experience; since Yavne doesn’t have a dorm, these girls are reluctant to go.
NOT TRUE!
Although you board with a family, you can request a house which has several boarders, so that it actually feels like a mini-dorm. Plus, you usually have the basement or attic to yourself, so you can invite friends over and really have dorm life.
The advantage, of course, is that you still have your space and privacy when you want it, which you don’t have in a real dorm.
