Rabbi Lamm is a talmid chachim, so please don’t bash him. I can’t believe there’s even an argument here about Touro or YU. Nobody will tell you that Touro is a better school, because it’s just not. YU has a better ranking (#45 overall) Touro is an easier school and that’s why people who want to learn all day can go there because they don’t have to put too much effort into it. YU does have learning also, so you have to be somewhat smart to do the double curriculum there because the secular studies are very demanding too. The hashkafa of YU is definitely needed in our World, to work and learn; many people forget that they have to work also. Yes there are non-religous Jews at YU but overall it’s a Jewish enviroment, plus Touro has goyim!
