Differences? Types of girls who go? Hashkafic differences? Is one more yeshivish than the other?

I can tell you that my DD applied to both, and chose BYA. It seems that there is quite a crossover between the two. Neither are known as being overly hard academically, so they attract the good kids that didn't receive all A's (my daughter gets A's in kodesh, with a lot of effort, and mostly B's in Chol.), there's a mix both places of yeshivish and balabatish maybe? Maybe Keser Chaya is more OOT? My daughter is very social, "put together" but not snobby. Others that she knows that applied to both are similar. Good BY girls.

Both are excellent seminaries. BYA has more run-of-the-mill type of girls while some would say Keser Chaya has more "out of the box" type of girls.

Out of the Box in a wholesome way? Or? Yeshivish girls?

I would say BYA is slightly more right wing, older, established.
Kesser Chaya, all great girls but I wouldn’t nec call them yeshivish. Out of town vibe- warm, friendly, not into brand names…

When I was in seminary about 7 years ago BYA was more yeshiviah, also more established seminary, the teachers were older and more old school and the keser chaya staff were mostly younger and the girls related well their teachers and principals. I think KC has become more yeshivish and a little harder academically in the past 5-6 years

It seems like BYA got a new principal last year, mid way through.

My daughter got into both so they obviously both look for similar types of girls. That being said bya is more of a "brand name" seminary by virtue of the fact that it's older and more established. When a girl is described as a "bya girl" everyone knows what that means.
Keser chaya does have a name as less academic, more hashkafa based. Personally we sent to keser chaya because I wanted more hashkafa classes even though my daughter can handle academics.
I think the crowds are similar.
Hope this helps
