Avira: Get it straight, Ner Israel never had college classes on campus. Never. Boys do get college degrees-off campus. The yeshiva helps them to use yeshiva credits to finish faster. If you consider learning gemara, rishonim and poskim and getting college credit for that then you would be correct.
However, that would be the same for most yeshivos today including BMG. Guys have been going to college in Ner Israel (off campus) just as long as guys in Chaim Berlin and Torah Vodaas.
And by the way: there are a lot more boys in BMG currently enrolled in college than Ner Israel.
I find it so strange how people make rumors with no basis to reality and accept them as fact.
