Reply To: Yeshiva and College

There are several yeshivos that offer varying degrees of secular/college level studies but those are probably not considered in the “upper tier” from a purely lamdus perspective. A chavrusah is an organic thing that exists through the interaction of its participants, not on the shteiging skills of any one person. If the chemistry isn’t right, any chavrusah will have challenges even if the participants are individually the “stars” of that particular institution
