In some out-of-town places there is one or two “frum school. So you get a much bigger mix of people. Meaning people who are far more laks in their observance. So if by less judgemental you mean will you find people who will accept your Scotia be they are doing it to. The answer is yes. But there are mixes in NY and Lakewood too. Maybe just not as open or as widespread be there are more school options so communities are more divided. In general I would say the more one works on themselves the less they look down on others and more accepting and loving of others they are.
