Touro is just as good as YU academically, so long as you research which professors to take classes with.

YU has more apikorsus floating around. Touro is more yeshivish while YU is more MO. However you will find both kinds in both places.

Touro is thousands of dollars cheaper, but YU can give you slightly more of a starting point (in YU – owned businesses, so this only applies to finance.)

Most YU students dorm, while most Touro students live at home.

YU has professors with tenure teaching, while Touro uses a lot of adjuncts.

YU and Lander colleges for men and women of Touro both require taking many Judaic studies courses. Touro’s tend to be lighter in terms of content.

YU is only in Wash Heights whereas there are many locations for both men and women to attend Touro.

YU gives fewer and more limited scholarships than does Touro.

YU is set in its ways and can be inflexible for individual student needs while people in Touro can’t always give proper guidance as the rules are always changing.

I think that covers it.
