I don’t know much but thought I’d comment to keep this current.
It’s a wonderful place. Consider going for at least two years. Excellent for someone who really wants to be a teacher but not exclusively – lots of halacha, hashkafa, guidance. I think that Americans see it differently than the English girls; for them, it’s just a natural option. For Americans, they envision a certain mold that may or may not be true. There is a variety of girls there.
Most of the girls I know from the states who’ve gone are daughters of alumni.
Hope this gets the conversation going.
