Does anyone have experience at touro's graduate school for social work or for masters in mental health? I understand it is not all frum people? are there still a lot of frum people? like that a single frum girl would make frieds and have other frum females to study with? and can these programs be done whil eworking? or are they too hard to have time for anything else? are there other masters in sw or mental health that are very frum friendly and recommended?

No. I know a married woman that graduated right before the summer. I think she said there was one other frum person.

Academically it’s not “one of the better” schools and it’s mixed so it doesn’t have any specific selling point to frum girls.

They are off on the Jewish holidays, so that's an advantage.

So are WSSW and LIU.

A lot of people go to Hunter or Brooklyn(MHC) because their selling point is their reasonable price, but Touro is not in that range. It is cheaper than Wurzeiler, LIU, Fordham tho...

Right. Also location should always be taken into consideration and schedule, besides quality and tuition for course.

Absolutely- I was answering with my Covid brain, assuming that everything was virtual!

But yes location and travel time would be a huge factor… ( time is money ).
