eerie Current streak: 1044 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1796	Let me preface this question by saying that I am not in any way saying or giving opinions about learning away from home, or in Eretz Yisroel. And I'll ask the oilam to please not get into those topics. Just answer the question for yourself, if you can, with one word Has learning away from home been detrimental to your kedusha, yes or no Please DO NOT share any details

I didn’t handle the freedom the best.

Eerie I'm not physically capable of one word answers. If I must: Both
lol.

Moreaccessto online contentathome, morefreedominyeshiva.

Except now I just remembered the tekufah where I got a hidden smartphone in yeshiva. Darn. I'm still sticking with both.

Wait I have a different one word answer: Depends.

Depends on the age, high school yeshiva exposed me to many things (that I eagerly "researched" at home), early bais medrash yeshiva gave me freedom to explore and indulge. But later on yeshiva was better for most of the time - less access and more torah.
