Questions for Yeshivish/more religious jews OUTSIDE Israel, Canada, and the U.S

Writing a lil thing, might wanna compare life as an American Jew to Jews from countries with smaller Jewish populations, and have some questions for you beautiful people!

1. When transitioning from middle school to high school, was it normal that most students chose 1 of maybe 4 schools at most? and was it common for almost everyone from said schools to know each other?

2. How common was it for classmates (assuming in Jewish high school) to do a gap year in israel in midreshet or yeshiva the first year after highschool?

3. in high school parties, were most of the people there only people from either your school, or other jewish schools?

4. Do you guys have one kosher restaurant thats like a ‘central meeting place’ each motzei shab?

5. if you went to a public school, how strong did your yiddishekeit feel?

also what country are you from?
