My son went there for 2 and half years (after starting HS here in NY). I can say that from my experience the staff is extremely warm and caring. They take great pride in providing individual attention and knowing each students needs. My son did not go back after graduation (most do) but still went down for a couple of shabbosim.
The community is involved and very supportive of the Yeshiva and the students.
When my son was there the “dorms” were spread out in peoples homes but there is talk that they will build (oo have built a building for housing.
