Anyway. I go to a boarding school, this is my second year there. The plus side of going to a boarding school is you get close to everyone at your school, there arent alot of people at your school so you know like everyone, we dont have to go by the state rules so we start the school year later than most schools and end it earlier, we also have alot of long breaks, like march break where I am off of school for a month. And private schools around the new england area like in NY, MASS, and CT, they have half days on Wed. and Sat.
the bad part about it, is if you are a boarder you tend to miss home and being with the same people in the school for so long can drive you crazy sometimes(but you learn to lve everyone anyway), you dont get snow days because most of your teachers live on campus. you have to go to school on saturdays.(but sometimes your deans or headmistresses just randomly take a day off.) In most private boarding schools you have to wear a uniform.(but only during the acedemic day, other wise you can wear whatever you want) there is studyhall everyday(well night at my school) except on saturdays(again this is only at my school). some of the people that you go to school with are rich snobs or they are selfish people that dont care for anything except themselves and will steal your things with out even caring(such as my roomate who is a klepto) you have to live with people that you really hate. and when you want to do something instead of just asking your parents you need to get permission from like 5 people.
If you have any more questions feel free to PM me. But overall i love my school and wouldnt change my dicision to go there at all.(yes it was my choice to go to a boarding school)
