Looking for seminary for chassidish girl, I know it's really really late, but for a few reasons, we didn't look into it till now... few questions

What seminary has mixed crowd of girls (meaning also chasssidish girls...) so far heard of kitov in Israel and BCR in England... any others?
Is there any chance that a seminary would still accept someone now?
anyone chassiddish that recently went to seminary, what was your experience?
Does anyone have any contact info of kitov/BCR?

any other options?
thanks!

Lots of Chassidish girls go to Seminary. You have to decide what type you're looking for.
Does she need more deep, into learning, or going for the experience or other reason?
Do you want davka Israel? Many do.
Most Yeshivish seminaries in Israel will have a sprinkle of Chassidish girls.

She's pretty good acedemically, but would rather want the focus to be on hashkafa and practical shiurim for life...
It should be a seminary where she wouldn't be one of the odd ones out for being chassidish...
looking for a warm place, not the kind where girls have all brand names... more simple
also should have the kind of staff that the girls connect to and can forge relationships with...
regarding Israel or somewhere else - I think if the place makes sense, and they would still accept at this point, I can't be too picky where it is

You might have a chance due to the matzav. My sister got in around now to seminary during the intafada

I don't know anything about which seminary would be a good fit and which would have openings but I have to say my daughter spent 3 weeks with Mrs. Kitov this summer and was blown away. She gained so, so much from that short period of time.

Intensive and Assaf in Brooklyn are full of chassidish girls.
Kitov and Hadar in Eretz Yisrael have a very chassidish crowd.

There's Gur seminary in Eretz Yisrael, Bobov seminary in Brooklyn.

Manchester has a lot of chassidish girls as well.

You'll find chassidish girls in most any Bais Yaakov type seminary, I think.

All these seminaries have a large amount of chassidish girls? Or just a few that are the odd ones out?

That was in 2001. That seminary is long gone ... Was just saying your not crazy for trying now. During a normal year there's no way you'd be getting in now
Kitov for sure has chasidish girls. I don't have Contact info though...

It would seem to me that you're far more likely to succeed if you have a teacher or someone else reach out on your behalf.

I'm not sure if BCR in Gateshead have full fledge chassidish girls unless it has changed in the past couple of years. At most the girls who were more chassidish inclined would have been from Switzerland (I know they aren't chassidish but that was the closest to chassidim that was there)

BSS in Manchester is very Chassidish inclined even though it's a litvish seminary.

You can try Bnos Yehudis. I have no idea if they have room or not, but it sounds like it's exactly what you are looking for.

Are you talking abt chassidish- on levush also? beige tights?
because then she will be the odd one out everywhere.
If by or Bais Brocha type of chassidish then she should have no issues
