Health: I didn’t say that I have no experience with either school – I said “Not having been a student in both.” I meant that I have not attended both institutions, not that I have not attended either one of them. Regardless, considereing discussions I’ve had with people in both institutions, my opinions are something more than “uneducated guesses.”
By the way, I didn’t denigrate Touro. I merely said that, to my understanding, YU is a stronger academic institution. If I say that the GRA was a greater Talmid Chochom (to my understanding) than R. Chaim Volozhin, is that denigration?
If I may, why do you love Touro so much?
