Not so bright
Coming to this school from public school, you realize that it has so many different programs for students that come from a variety of backgrounds. There is great Kosher food, although loctaed in Washington Heights, the security is really good and the school provides shuttles everywhere including the train station. I think this is a great Privet university with an astonishing education.
Education Quality: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: B+

YU is a great school, and there are a many opportunities there that you won't get at other insitutions. Although it has its flaws like any other school, I believe it provides a strong education. I greatly enjoyed YU, and had a lot of fun there, although I had a lot of work as well :(

Super Brilliant
Expect long hours of work and class. The average amount of class time is over thirty hours and if you take a harder program double that for the amount work you'll be doing outside of class. Not for the feint of hard and it's easy to let it wear your down.

YU has tremendous potential which is totally squandered by the limitations put on it by an increasingly right wing student body (representative of an increasingly right wing modern orthodox world). Some of the professors are good and particularly in the math and sciences, you can get an education at YU which sits on par with more competitive schools. However, the majority of the social sciences are a disaster because a key component of a social science education is entertaining many different opinions and persepectives. Granted, you won't find EVERY opinion represented anywhere, but you can't really learn about sociology or the world around you in an academic manner when EVERYBODY is virtually the same (grew up Orthodox, thinks very conservatively, doesn't really know much about the world outside of the Orthodox Jewish bubble). Too many things are taboo here and if you don't fit the mold, you will feel that you are being greatly deprived of a well-rounded education if you major is any of the liberal arts. There is NO social life and you are VERY far from what's happening in the city because you live 5+ minutes from a local train in washington heights, manhattan... If you believe in the idea that you can have a progressive Jewish school which by representing the diversity of the Jewish community (Orthodox AND otherwise) you can really blend religious, ethical learning with an open minded liberal arts education, come to YU and try to change things- there may be change on the horizon.... but if you don't want to fight and be miserable a lot... don't get caught in the trap of YU's lucrative financial aid packages and deceptive advertising
