It used to be Maalot. It's in Baltimore. I don't know what you know about Baltimore, but it's a mix. Every type goes there. The Baltimore girls mostly went to Bnos Yisroel or Bais Yaakov. Girls do come from out of town, but a nice chunk are from Baltimore. The teachers are all solid people including Rabbanim from town.

It's not a seminary in the sense straight after 12th grade. It's a "post seminary program" to get a degree in a frum environment. A certain amount of kodesh courses are required and apply to the degree and then classes towards your major.

They used to have dorms for the out of town girls, but I don't think they do anymore. I think the out of town girls either jointly rent apartments or board by local families--but I could be wrong.

Bais Yaakov, all types. From very Yeshivish to BY-lite. Girls who go after Sem are coming from all types of places, In-town and out-of town seminaries. They cater to the Baltimore crowd first and foremost but girls come from everywhere. My daughter is applying (between WITS and Sara Schenirer) The two girls from our town who went are both yeshivish from very frum homes. They boarded by families.
The pros are pretty attractive, it's like attending a real school, great classes that are challenging and make you think, social life, they are INCREDIBLY hands on with career counseling, helping aquire internships, hashkafically based classes on being female in the work world, etc.
The Cons, it takes a little bit longer, (by about a half year to a year and a half?) then SS and it's in Baltimore (con if you dont live there. Nothing bad about Baltimore)
