TOHSG – you know there are plenty of things wrong with “regular” college! I could start a list, but there is no reason to start a heated debate when things are going smoothly at the moment! Don’t stir up trouble for no reason.
What does he want to do? If he wants to go to law school, a BTL is a great option. He will also have to study to take the LSATs, but from what I hear, if you have a gemara cup, its just a matter of learning how to take the test, rather than the subject matter.
If he wants to go to medical school, a BTL is ok, but he also will have to do his pre-med requirements. If he wants a profession that has no connection to a BTL, then it won’t help to get one. Can you get us some more information please?
