wannabegood: I get my information from daughters who went to seminary, good ones with excellent reputations.
As far as those who say “worth every penny,” well they aren’t your pennies that are being spent for you to make that comment; just your parents.
as far as seminaries brainwashing, well it all depends how you guide. If you send the girls to spend Shabbos with a kollel family and they just extol the virtues without the negatives, that is pretty much brainwashing, no matter what you call it.
