I go to an out of town Bais Yaakov and I listen to non jewish movies, watch tv (but we don't own a tv) and I don't talk to boys. I want a seminary that isn't BY but the girls are still good girls, seminary that isn't academic, and I want the seminary to serve 3 meals a day.

I'd recommend that you look into Pninim. As far as I know, it fits the criteria you listed--hashkafah-based, not so academically-demanding, good girls, and they serve three meals a day.

Yes, I've been told Pninim right now that is my first and only choice, so I need other suggestions besides Pninim.

Maybe Ateres or Me'Ohr. If you want something with career training options, maybe look into Bnos Chana. You could also look into Midreshet Tehillah, which is less Bais Yaakov-y than the others. Good staff and intellectual learning, but not heavy on the academics.

Bnos Chana is to Bais Yaakov-y for me. How about Afiki Torah don't really know much about it but my school suggested it.

Based on my conversations with people I know who went to Afikei, the learning there is definitely more hashkofah-based, not very demanding at all. It's a growing seminary--the girls really develop in their avodas Hashem. The staff is supposed to be very good and very warm. They serve supper, but students make their own breakfasts and lunches in the dorm kitchens.

What questions do they ask in the Pninim interview?
Also what are the girls like in Sharfmens?
