    Am learning a lot

    With Judaic studies in the morning and secular courses in the afternoon, your day is filled with inspiring and useful information.
    Am enjoying being here

    Great Rabbeim! Great Professors! Modest Campus! Delicious Kosher Food! Nice Dorm...what's not to like?
    Bang for the buck

    If you are interested in the medical, psychological, business, or law field while balancing your yeshiva courses; Then YU is worth every penny!
    Tips for prospective students

    Spend a day in your morning program, see if you feel comfortable. If you do not enjoy what your are doing in the morning, then college (YU in particular) will lead to a head of gray. It's Torah U'Madda (Torah and secular knowledge), only with a solid Torah foundation can you truly succeed in everything else. That being the case, make sure your in the right spot during the morning hours.
    Great for these types of students

    Jews who love Torah and know that it is important nowadays to have a college degree to ultimately benefit humanity.

    The duel program is extremely challenging and time constraining. The professors aren't the best, but they are good. The social life on campus isn't that great.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you already know your major get in contact with a current student at YU before pick your schedule. Ask them which teachers to take. Otherwise you might get stuck with a very bad teacher.
    Academic Rigor

    Most of the degrees here are difficult.
    Dorm Life

    The dorm life is not great here. Most people move off campus after the first or second semester of being here.
    Food and Dining

    The food is OK. Nothing to brag about, but they have some good food sometimes.
    What to do for fun

    Your in New York City, so there is a lot to do. Lots of museums, historical sites, bars, and other college campuses to visit.
    Bang for the buck

    Not really the best place to go for the price they charge.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The campus is an all guys campus and there is a sister campus in Midtown. There is also a free shuttle that you can sign up for that takes you between the two campuses.
    Great for these types of students

    Orthodox Jewish upbringing.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are some OK clubs and activities on campus.
    Greek Life

    There is one fraternity on campus: Alpha Epsilon Pi. They are about to receive their charter this month.
    Campus Safety

    The campus doesn't have the best security but the NYPD patrols the campus. So that makes us feel more safe.
