Bnos Sarah | This is a common trio to apply to - Bnos Avigail, Machon Raaya, and Bnos Sarah. All three of them are great seminaries. | |

MR is populated by lots of MO girls that want to be “frummer”
BA education structure is most unique, and therefore may not appeal to many | |

Great group of girls every year. Machon Raaya- that's a somewhat accurate description. MR and Michlalah is also a common application combo. Very academic in a more intellectual-type way (hard to describe). My sister went and was not happy with the materialism and extravagance there (like almost everyone had their parents' credit card and was eating out all the time). I don't know much about Bnos Avigail directly. | |

I don't know much about Bnos Avigail directly. | My DD is more in line with MR type girls currently (MO friends, listens to non Jewish music, watches movie, reads books), but feels she wants to move further right so BS is her top choice. However, Given that she wants a career (not typical ones I.e. therapy/nursing), is not interested in going to Touro, and is totally against a Kollel life —— is perhaps BS not the best choice for her? | |

| snip I went to BYMR and that was not my experience...could be things have changed in the past few years. My year, we had girls from very RW BY high schools and a girl from a secular Jewish high school who became frum on her own, and everything in between. Very out of towny and not gashmiusdig at all. | |
