Yeshiva University stands alone as a vibrant institution where students immerse themselves in academics and
extracurricular pursuits, while simultaneously living a Torah lifestyle. At other schools, exams on Yom Tov, games on
Shabbat and BDS rallies are elements of the “college experience” students must navigate.

Achieving their academic, recreational and spiritual goals is why YU students find outstanding success when
applying to graduate schools and entering their chosen careers including 94% (44 students) accepted to medical
school, 96% (27 students) to dental school and 100% (60 students) to law school in the last year.
With unparalleled faculty and Jewish resources, YU offers it all—including $42 million in scholarships and financial
assistance benefiting 79% of students.

attendees were among the first to visit the basket-

will be the largest in the NBA, includes two reg-
