As a YU bochur myself, i am extremely offended. Now i know why i attend YU and not any of your yeshivish yeshivas. You are all close minded and creating unnecessary sinas chinam. When i went to the mir for a week, i saw half the bochrim batuling all day and never entering the confines of the beit midrash. They would hang out and smoke by the restaurants all day and one of them even bragged to me that he calls in to NY sports radio everyday, so much so that the radio host (a goy! *gasp*) recognizes his name and voice. The fact that you would prefer that guy bc he went to the mir and not a YU bochur who is learning a minimum of 6.5 hours a day, by choice!!! he is not being forced to do this, like in the yeshivish velt. He is learning bc he wants to. It is easy to fall thru the cracks in YU due to the diversity, so the fact that he is in the beis medrash should mean more than anything else. I would bet my life that if you would look at YU and their roshei yeshiva without any preconceived false notions, then you would see that they are second to none and they can learn with anyone. The roshei yeshiva are mamash gedolei torah and are worthy of being the rosh hayeshiva in any chashuv yeshivish yeshiva. will your daughter’s life end if she went on a date with a YU bochur!? if so, then maybe you should be asking us YU bochurim if your daughter (or any of these yeshivish girls) are chasuv enough to go on dates with us!
