mischiefmaker: 1st of all it is an AMAZING experience!!! The girls are all pretty typical, not modern but not crazy yeshivish either, more the “middle” of the road, but some can be a little more yeshivish etc then others. You come home towards the end of January, which is a great time to start college or find a job if you want because the work field is not inundated with young girls needing jobs. (but that’s not the reason why I went)You adjust pretty quickly, by the end of the first week almost everyone was fine, while all our friends in other seminaries were all just getting adjusted. and we did not feel like we were leaving in middle of something, we really felt like we got everything we possibly could have. They get the best teachers, they got the top teachers from almost every seminary, and the program itself is really great. Let’s put it this way, I didn’t go because it was a half year, I went because of the program itself and I feel that I got exactly what I went for. The teachers and administration were all warm, open, understanding, and caring. We seriously felt that we could talk to them about anything. 🙂 hope this helped!
