Look, if your thinking about coming to YU make sure you know EXACTLY what your getting your self into. If your a religious guy who loves learning torah but also wants to get a degree then it will probably be good for you. However, beware! If you like learning too much you probably won't like YU because it doesn't offer enough learning. There is a very small group of people that love YU. The rest don't like it because it has too much or too little torah learning. Make sure you realize that your going to be doing 16 hours of Jewish studies on top of your secular course load. Be aware that there is NO social life on campus. Also if you want to meet girls, your going to have to be very proactive. Oh yeah, and be aware that when you come you will be surrounded by a lot of people that hate it here. So, if you don't want to be around people who complain that the school sucks, then I wouldn't come. But, then again, if you want a VERY affordable school (that for some strange reason has great connections) with a student body of Jewish orthodox males then YU is probably for you. Oh yeah, and also be aware that a lot of guys at YU are not religious. I'd say about thirty percent don't keep shabbat. So don't come in thinking that you'll be surrounded by people who are passionate about Judaism.

I hope this opened your eyes a little.
