<p>exeter is THE nerd school that's why it's the best. plus, theyve mentioned that there are not many cute guys which just proves that the school is nerdy. i match nerdy with unattractive. let's just say none of the "hot" guys in my school are good students. actually, this girl just plain out said boys are ugly here. and that she was disappointed. in the exeter view book, i did not see 1 cute guy. not even one plain guy. very very very disappointing</p>
<hr>
<p>hmm about andover. when i saw the view book, saw cute guys in abercrombie shirts. if they looked like that in middle school, they were definitely popular. popular equals preppy in my eyes. well at least in my school.</p>
<p>so which one's the "smarter" school, andover or exeter?</p>
<p>By the way, thingslost, I'd love to worry about that too!!! Especially since 4 guys (none of which are very nice people) are also applying to the same schools as me and if they don't get in I can totally rub it in their face with that worry!!!</p>
<p>Well, I've visited my friend twice at Exeter, and A) He's VERY good-looking, and B) ALL of his guy friends he introduced me to were extremely good-looking as well. </p>
<p>But maybe that's just his group of friends, I dunno.</p>
<p>exeter probably isn't the best-looking overall of top boarding schools, but, trust me, there are plenty of boys who are not "boring/nerdy," thingslost.</p>
<p>exeter is nerdy in the sense that getting bad grades is not cool, but there are a plethora of people there who aren't nerds. the vast majority of people have multiple interests, so they are dynamic (ie, not wholly nerdy even if they invest a lot in academics).</p>
<p>oh yeah, and it is very liberal. heh, i remember a story i heard about an assembly that was held after the 2000 election. apparently a playwright came who was supposed to talk about his plays, but the first thing he said was 'the worst thing that has happened to african-americans since slavery happened in nov/dec of 2000.' he was referring to george bush "winning" the election. then he went on to spend the rest of the assembly criticizing and stereotyping conservatives (eg, 'the only reason bush won the election was that he killed off all the people who would vote against him via the death penalty,' etc).</p>
<p>apparently there were students standing on the benches clapping.</p>
<p>hmm about the "not cute" comment, im talking about freshman at exeter. when guys get older, they usually get hotter. she said the hottest guys were upperclassmen (junior, senior, PG). but chances are you wont date them if your a freshman or sophomore. well, at least they're good to look at.</p>
<p>@istoleyournose
although many people feel that there are only a few republicans on campus you'd be surprised at how many conservative students there actually are. Almost every Korean at Exeter is conservative, in addition to a lot of the undecideds. It's just that the liberals are more vocal</p>
<p>I know, don't mean to imply I really know anything about how the student body is composed. I was just reading what I read in the exonian for everyones benefit. I think statistics are very valuable in a board filled with opinions. In any case, as your a student there I'd love to hear your take on exeter! =)</p>
<p>"when guys get older, they usually get hotter. she said the hottest guys were upperclassmen (junior, senior, PG). but chances are you wont date them if your a freshman or sophomore."</p>
<p>hahahaha....just wait 'til you get to BS. why do you think (some of) the older girls despise the younger girls?...it's because they are stuck hooking up with sophomores while the senior guys are vying for the new freshman and sophomore girls...</p>
<p>Hot Guys ? Exeter ?? Is this some type of joke ??? Exeter has almost NO hot guys, of course there are a few rules to the exception but that is generally true. If you want Hot guys then you would probably be better off at Andover. Exonians may be smart, but they are NOT hot.</p>
<p>Personally I think Hotchkiss has the hottest guys though, I have a theory as to why. The Hotchkiss elite alumni are among the wealthiest people in the world. These wealthy individuals then marry some model and have gorgeous looking kids, finally their kids are shipped of to Hotchkiss where they hook up with other hot hotchkiss kids and have even hotter kids and the cycle just perpetuates itself. It' just a theory though ...</p>
<p>To be frank, I'd rather have someone smart over someone hot. Looking good is just a plus. Besides, when I used to model, all the guy models were horribly boring. bleh.</p>
