Hi, does anyone know of good Seminarys in America? Looking for an out-of-town BY type(a tiny bit more modern, have unfiltered smartphones but are still very frum; keep tznius, shabbas, and kosher fully, good middos etc).

If anyone knows any accredited ones that would be preferred.

I wish you luck and I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think there's any place like that still around. The seminaries I know in America are all quite right-wing: a few in Lakewood, Rebbetzin Assaf in Brooklyn, Bais Yaakov Intensive, and maybe a handful of girls at Yavne in Cleveland. None of these sound like what you're looking for. Perhaps someone else will know of an option that I forgot or don't know about.

Amother Mint is right. They're all BY yeshivishe places. No smartphones at all.
There's Bnos Binah in Brooklyn, though. Google for their website. I heard they have great teachers and classes. You can also take college credits there, I believe.

Yes. Still a BY type, but not as yeshivishe imo

Actually I just thought of Ateres Naava. I'm not sure that it's what you're looking for, but it's nothing like the others I mentioned and way more open-minded, so it's worth at least looking into.

Maalot in Baltimore had a first year sem at one point. They might be more Shana bet/college at this point. Not sure if they still have dorms.
