I have decided that I need to go to College to get a job and I am wondering if anyone knows anything about colleges that offer learning and classes. Or a Yeshiva that is near close to a college.
Anyone know anything?
I think the mesivta of Boston is very close to Harvard. Check it out.
Likewise, there is a chabad yeshiva in New Haven that is near Yale.
YU exists. Touro exists. Ner Yisrael has UMBC and Johns Hopkins nearby.
/thread
Why end the thread?
Ner Yisroel does have UMBC and John Hopkin nearby. But it also has Georgetown, no?????
Who cares. Real men go to Harvard.
only reason I am not saying this about YU is because they are a top 50 school
You looking for prestige or to get a job?
yeah but MIT is better in robotics
Hence real men go to Harvard.
(if you were already making that joke, I apologize for being slow)
I think Northwestern might be near the chicago yeshiva, but look into that.
Not to mention that one can get a fully accredited degree from any of several distance education programs run by public universities (University College at University of Maryland, Empire State College in New York, etc.).
There many yeshivos in flatbush which aloow college at night.
But what abut the ladies?
If you want to stay in the NY area, you could try NYU
UTAH: Maryland’s University College is largely online, though you can take classes at any other accredited colleges for subject you prefer not to do online. It is part of the University of Maryland, and the degree says “University of Maryland”.
sem613 THE!! Chicago Yeshiva!? ummm hello its Chicago its not Tuscaloosa there are several Yeshivas in Chicago yeesh.
goq, chicago is famous for the telshe yeshiva, where I’m from, thats what puts chicago on the Jewish map, because that was the original one there
Goq – funny you should say that. I was gonna post that I didn’t know we had one.
Back to the original question:
The only colleges that offer Torah learning are Touro and Yeshiva University. Both are quite expensive. Yeshiva University is a reputable second tier university (places such as NYU and Columbia are top tier), Touro is accredited by much less respected.
Every yeshiva is near colleges. America has a system in which colleges abound. Arranging a learning seder while going college can be a problem but is possible.
If you goal is to continue learning in a regular way while getting an academic degree, focus on distance education.
Don’t look at “going to college” as a path to parnassah. Pick a parnassah, and then pick a college to get there.
There is no Yeshiva in Pittsburgh (where Carnegie Mellon is). However there is a Lakewood Kollel where one can pretty easily get a chavrusa for night seder.
The University of Maryland at College Park is 15-20 minutes from the Yeshiva of Greater Washington. A substantial number of the Yeshiva students also take classes at Maryland.
Utah: It is much easier out of YU, but you can get a job out of Touro. It’s a less valuable degree, sure, but it is still a degree that will give you a leg up over anyone without it.
Silver Spring is about a 15-minute drive from UM. I highly, highly suggest that if you go to UM, you live in the Jewish community in Silver Spring (either Kemp Mill or Woodside) and not on campus.
Akuperma isn’t wrong, though. Many Yeshivos throughout the country have decent colleges within driving distance. Find a college that could work for you, make sure there is a Yeshiva that fits you nearby, and just go for that.
U. Maryland is 20 minutes from silver spring. If you’re interested, the Yeshiva of Greater Washington has a Yeshiva Gedolah where many people have learning seder during the day and then attend college classes in afternoons/evenings. Go to yeshiva.edu
Carnegie Mellon is walking distance from the main Jewish neighborhood in Pittsburgh.
ok sem u are forgiven but please educate yourself before you speak, syag lol.
maybe look into the Ner Yisroel/ johns Hopkins program
The problem is many yeshivas make it almost impossible to attend yeshiva and college even if they are close by.
How many yeshivas have night seder so you can attend Brooklyn college as an example
