In todays society it is often necessary to get a degree and I beleive that people should go to college. Whether to go to a “Jewish” college or not is a question each person should discuss with his or her Rebbeim. I know many people who got their undergrad degree from Touro college and got a very good education. On the other hand, I wouldn’t necessarily say that Touro is that much better then other colleges when it comes to co-ed. I have seen the scene at Touro on Avenue J between classes during the summer and it is, in my opinion, not appropriate for a ben Torah. Better to go to a non-Jewish college where at least you realize that the people around you are not your type of people then to chas veshalom be negatively influenced by the “frum” people at Touro.
