PBA -“I have proof. The US News and World Report ranks Yeshiva College as number 45. Touro is nowhere close (I dont know ranking)”
I understand, but this isn’t Proof! The USN&WR doesn’t mention Touro in their national rankings only in their regional. YU is in the national. Why some are graded in national & some are graded in regional? – I don’t know. For some reason the mag puts you in one or the other, not in both. I’m sure the mag has a reason.
So you are making an assumption that Touro would be behind YU – if they just put every college into national rankings.
Again though – let’s assume that YU is a higher level of academics than Touro -I still wouldn’t go there. If you are looking for a regular Yeshiva type of learning and regular Yeshiva Hashkofas and very good academics -go to Ner Yisroel.
There you can go to Johns Hopkins (which is #13 on the national scale) or to Loyola (which is #3 in regional rankings). Some from NIRC go to Towson for whatever reasons they have, even if doesn’t compare to the other two schools.
Go to Touro if you are already in a Yeshiva and want to get a college education or you finished Yeshiva and are a Ben Torah and need Parnassa. It’s convenient for Frum Jews whom live in the NYC
metro area!
