    Here is the link to their website: It is on the Neve Campus. I recommend fixing your caps lock so that people will be more likely to respond to your posts…

    Hey. How do you know so early where you are going? They didnt even send out acceptance letters yet…Anyway, I happened to have applied to bnos chava as well and IYH I will have to make a decision probably next week. I actually applied there as a backup but then was really impressed with the girls and the principal when I went to my interview. So now Im open to it but I dont really know much about it. Questions:

    1) What are the girls like? It has a reputation for being jappy which actually doesnt bother me as long as they are NICE people. Thats the main thing for me. Peer pressure? Homey atmosophere? Are there out of towners etc..

    2) Academics – I know its supposed to be academic which I want but what kind of work is it? More reports and in text learning or more test with memorization? Is it considered a textual seminary?

    3) Teachers – what are they like? Approachable? Open? Nice…?

    I know its considered an open minded place but I dont know how out of the box it is…if you can let me know all the above it would be amazing. Thank you so much.

    I am kind of lookng for the same answers as you musicaldignity but i seem to know a little more so let me help you out a little bit

    1. As far as academics I heard there are a lot of reports and homework and its rated very high academically but I also heard it was very managable and girls still had time to enjoy the whole experience. Im not really sure on the textual vs haskafa aspect..I heard its more textual but in each class there are many valuable life lessons taught.

    2) As far as japs and being nice- it seems to me that Bnos Chava attracts a lot of in- town girls who are a little jappy but as it is a big seminary there a a good number of out of towners there and thats all i know

    3)As far as approachable teachers go, i heard from a girl that recently came back from bnos chava.. that if a girl wants to get close to a teacher and be open with them you are able to but you have to be the one wanting that.. and looking to have a relationship with your teacher.. their not going to be coming after you but they are definitely there for you.
