Looking for seminary advice

Hi all,
We are looking for a seminary for our oldest daughter who will B'eH start the application process this fall. We are Religious Zionists and would like her to go to a sem with the same hashkafa. The h.s. she has been at has been more black hat and they were very lacking in the Zionism department. I won't go into it but we were unhappy with that but were limited to our choices of frum high schools for girls. Basically she needs to "catch up" on her frum Zionist education. To make the issue more interesting, she is also an Israeli citizen. Can she get a p'tor from the army for a year, or does she need to do her sherut leumi while in sem (like in midreshet yeud) or instead of? I will also ask NBN the question, but I like to turn to the moms first. If any of you out there have any insights or advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thank yoU!!

Another vote for Harova

And I would second MMY. They have a give over a great religious Zionist hashkafa, but the girls are probably more what your dd is used to (in terms of dress, how much time is spent with boys, etc.)

I would like to suggest Nishmat! HaRova is also good too.
