PB -“Touro is more yeshivish while YU is more MO. However you will find both kinds in both places.”
To expand on this – Touro was started for Parnassa -for mostly men who have decided to leave the Yeshiva -where they were doing full time learning (they might even still be in Yeshiva) and get a Parnassa through some sort of degree. It isn’t in place of a Yeshiva, just a lot of advantages for Yeshiva guys trying to get degrees. YU has a totally diferent philosophy than most of the Frum world. They believe that in order to be a complete Jew you need certain secular studies -I believe this is what they mean when they say Torah Ummada.
If you are looking for a Yeshiva -like you aren’t capable of learning on your own and you aren’t in one that allows college -I don’t recommend either. Touro is for guys who are Bnai Torah and learning already -either in Yeshiva or like a Baal Haboss. YU is for people whom already have that type of Hashkofa. If you need a Yeshiva to learn in -I’d recommend NIRC (Ner Israel) in Balto. MD.
They are on par of most other Yeshivos and they allow college after a certain time period of being there!
