1) Yes. Most of the classes were really interesting. There are maybe one or two boring ones, but the teachers are very good and engaging and like when the class participates and discusses.
2) Because there are electives, the schedule after lunch was random. The morning classes ended at about 1-1:30, and then we went back to the dorm for lunch. Then there were afternoon classes and night classes, of which some were electives, so the schedule became a little inconsistent. Some days after lunch you could have a couple hours free, and some days you could have a free hour here and there between classes. Also, Thursday afternoon is free because we have chessed.
3) Yes. Although many of the teachers have busy lives – teach at other seminaries, have many young children, they still have time/make time for their students. You can call them with no problem and go to their house for meals. Seminar encourages students to connect to the staff. Each class has a homeroom teacher, which is that class’s mechaneches. Also, the school is divided into groups of 20-30 girls that meet with mechanchos, (not the homeroom teacher), once a week.
4) What I liked
– The dorm atmosphere
– the food is really good compared to many places
– the work was challenging but not impossible. Also, there are tutors in the library 2 times a week that tons of girls use.
– tiyulim were awesome – i loved the hikes
– production is really amazing and fun and everyone is involved
– the school puts on a huge carnival for sderot kids and kids from shelach lachmicha – which is an organization run by one of seminar’s teachers for special needs kids and their families
– lots of places to lounge – couches all over the place and hammocks on the roof.
– awesome pressure in the showers
– they also gave extensions for huge papers that everyone complained about
– girls from all over that are amazing
– the most normal and abnormal seminary at the same time
what I did not like (does not compare to what i did like)
– the computers are extremely slow
– don’t have showers on every floor
– the curfew is at 10:30
