<p>OKAY GO BIG GREEN!! </p>

<p>DEERFIELD ACADEMY IS THE BEST SCHOOL ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. and by the way, out of a class of 140, here are its matric stats for this year's class </p>

<p>15 harvard
12 yale
9 princeton
9 upenn
5 columbia
11 brown
14 cornell
7 dartmouth </p>

<p>and like EVERYONE else is going to middlebury, williams, bowdoin </p>

<p>but it's not just the high caliber of the students that makes deerfield academy amazing. lemme put it this way, ANDOVER AND EXETER ARE LIKE HARVARD AND YALE, and deerfield is the PRINCETON of boarding schools. way way way smaller, much wealthier, much classier (we have dress code, sit down meals, academy events, etc.--andover and exeter dont). </p>

<p>i love deerfield. i was graduated in '02 and i love it so much. i miss itmore than anything. </p>

<p>Wow, WealthyIvyGirl, you are quite the moron. First, what is wrong with being the Harvard and Yale of boarding schools ? Second, you act like the brat you are and prance around talking about the wealth of you, your school, or whatever. </p>

<p>By the way, Deerfield has an endowment of approx. $250 million. Andover and Exeter have about $500 million each. Deerfield has 140 students per class, Andover and Exeter have about 250. Lets do the math. </p>

<p>$250 Million/4<em>140 = .44 Million per student
$500 Million/4</em>250 = .50 Million per student </p>

<p>Hmm, that's odd. According to you, Deerfield was "Much Richer". I don't think you learned too many math skills at Deerfield. </p>

<p>Class is also high subjective. You cannot simply say one school has more class then another. Also, Exeter does have a dress code, Andover does not (It is one of the reasons I will be going to Andover) </p>

<p>Please, don't force me to make you look stupid again. </p>

<p>BTW, this is not a knock on any deerfield students, it is a great school.</p>

<p>this is weird, it says that hardstyleprep has posted, but when i click on this, it doesnt show anything???</p>

<p>Ethel Walker's is a girls school! Many may be riders, but they don't see a lot of action. All the coed school girls beat EWS girls in spades when it comes to random hookups.</p>

I graduated from there. Some are riders. Some are artistic. Some are jocks. Some are nerds & brains. Some are normal. A few were slutty, but not all. Some were into pot smoking instead. There are all types. I was a boarder but I preferred hanging out with some day students who weren’t caught up in the social cliques. Everyone finds a niche, a core group of friends.

Its so weird to think that some of these people might be dead.
