My dd went last year, great group of girls, def frum, tznius, good girls. It’s really hard to get in the past few yrs and they only accept really amazing top girls. Def is a desirable crowd!

What do you mean not desirable crowd? They have an amazing, normal, frum, cute crowd year after year.

My daughter went there. There is really no seminary like it!! It’s really like one big family- and the trips and classes are so full of tochen. They go places that no other seminary goes. The hanhala is incredibly warm. My daughter grew a ton!!

Most girls were actually not cool. There are different types but all solid frum. I don’t know anyone that applied to meohr and lahav.

I actually got into Lahav and Meohr and many other girls I know too. Meohr is a wonderful seminary as well...

Is it true that there's a lot of jappyness, high pressure with spending?

Would not say that Lahav has a name like that at all. Maybe some girls...but every Sem has girls like that!

If you were accepted on round 1, your deposit was already due today, so I'm not sure why you're looking for info now, unless your daughter was accepted from a waiting list and was just accepted?

Either way, it's not proper etiquette to come on to a public chat and speak lashon Hara and badmouth a Seminary and the potential girls who applied. Not really cool.

My daughter went to Lahav a few years ago. She loved everything about Lahav. There are no other seminaries like Lahav. Here’s my thoughts.
1) it’s a mixed crowd. There are many different reasons why a girl chooses Lahav. There are brillliant girls who want to get a head start on college and then the there are good girls who worked hard but want a more hashkafic based program without reports and too much in text learning.
2) parents who can’t afford sem, Lahav is a cheaper option.
3) really exploring and seeing the country, Lahav takes more trips and it’s all tied into our history.
4) really great teachers

Lahav has the most classes. They don’t have as much free time as other sems, since they’re always on the go. I remember Mrs Goldstein saying the one thing all Lahav girls have in common is high energy and the ability to go. They could be in a vaad class until 1 and then on a bus at 6 the next morning, going on a trip.
That part was so true.

There are many different type of girls there. It’s not really a type.

The girl I know who went this year is a bubbly, warm, tzanua person. If everyone else is like her, the place has to be beyond amazing.

2 of DD's friends applied this year: one is a little more cool and the other is down to earth. Neither of them got in.
