<p>Hey, does anyone know what it's like to have a bf/gf at a boarding school?</p>
<p>I think this quote really summed it up for me(I'm paraphrasing a bit)...
"You are almost literally married. You'll see her when you wake up... You'll see her during breakfast... You'll she her during French... You'll see her during lunch... You'll get a skype invitation from her during study hall... You'll see her during dinner... You'll see her in town... You'll see her before lights out... You'll get texts from her during lights out. If you are made for each other and have good relationship skills it'll work. Weak relationships don't even get off the ground... You get so much time with somebody that you know."</p>
<p>Defintley. I agree with italianboarder. Also, escpecially as a Freshman, you are not going to have a huge amount of free time.</p>
<p>Just on a side note: Alot of "social" opportunities warrent getting a date... Dances hosted by dorms are an example. If you take a certain somebody... It doesn't mean you are dating. So it isn't like at my school where you have to have a girl for winter formal and you need to take her out at least twice before/after formal or else you are "a manipulative boy".</p>
<p>Have a fun read here. It is an old thread with a few inside jokes, but this topic has been done before...</p>
<p>i wonder how many engage in sexual things......since they are ALWAYS surrounded by the opposite sex. ive heard A LOT of tales about libraries and chapels</p>
<p>Around the same amount as public school(Percentage of couples engaged)... Not really that impressive. I thought it would be alot more, but you gotta realize alot of the kids are a cut above and that generally means less stupid decisions(I hope at least)... A friend from Exeter told me that. I can't speak for every school.</p>
<p>In reply to Senay,
I can say from a visit I recently took that on Saturday nights their are hookups galore. In addition to libraries and chapels you can add common rooms and art centers. You must remember that these kids are teenagers just like us. People were making out (among other things) everywhere.</p>
<p>I think it would be hard. You would see the person all the time, and you would really have to like that person. I waws wondering, what does 'bump' do? Sorry if I sound ignorant.</p>
<p>yep, i can definitely see that</p>
<p>californiadreams you make it sound as if people at boarding school feel the need to hookup everywhere on campus. BS is not that crazy people aren't making out everywhere.</p>
<p>GoBigRed, you're probably right. I'm just going off of what I witnessed that one night and what I was told by the students. Since I am not currently a boarding school student I will not pretend like I know everything about it.</p>
