I am a frum woman who attended the school right out of high school for the summer, spring, and fall semester. I went to the Flatbush campus. The biggest advantage of this program is obviously the single gender and the keeping of the Jewish calendar in terms of holidays and Shabbos. This is a big motivator for a lot of people who go there. I didn't go back for reasons not having to do with my feelings about the school, however, I would not return. I am a person who seeks real learning, and while I was sometimes stimulated, a lot of my classes were boring, and I didn't really learn much in them. I felt that I could have read a book and gotten the information quicker. I did have a professor or two that were really interesting. I should point out that I always learn quicker than other people.In terms of the students, everyone here is very friendly and nice. People don't really come here to make friends. They come here with their circle of friends and basically leave with their same circle of friends. Also, a lot of people work full time and come in the evening, and because they are so busy, they don't put any time into extra-cirricular activities, so there are very few.The teachers were nice and helpful. I never had any problem with them, and felt they treated us well.The offices were not so helpful.I don't think the quality of education is good at all, but like I said- the biggest advantage is the single gender and Jewish calendar.
