Emes – as pointed out, 600 in one place is only big if it’s one of many. Bmg has more than yu by a factor of 6 ot 7, and it’s only the largest – there are hundreds of yeshivos that are smaller. Hundreds. The amount of torah learned in the Torah world, not the torah ve’taaruvos, not torah umada, not torah v’toeva, nor torah v’movies, is exponentially greater than in the modern world, where one in a class of 30 go on to the “elite” of YU, where they can learn tons of api(courses), Bible criticism, and all sorts of treif, “in the interest of openness”.
They can “Excel” in learning and become experts in searching for heterim for women to not be tznius
But heaven forbid to miss krias hatorah or not wear techeles…hamayvin yovin.
