GadolHadorah,
Yes they have Rabonim in their yeshivos, but being chassidim means they belong to a chassidus which is led by a Rebbe. So for yomim noroim they would leave their yeshiva and go to the main centre of their chassidus to be near the Rebbe. So a Vizhnitzer would go to Bnei Brak, a Bobover to Bobov in NY, Pshevorsker to Antwerp, etc.
There is a Beis Yaakov school near the Mir, and I remember that the rooms were rented out so Gerrer Bochrim and possibly Yingerleit as well, would dorm there from RH until after YK.
