I live near an acronym school, Close enough to be a day student, but I would much rather be a boarding student. Could I attend as a boarder despite my proximity to the school? (I live 15 mins away)
It depends upon the rules of the school. For instance, if one is applying to Exeter and live in Hampton, NH, then applying as a boarder is not an option. Ask the school in question.
And their rule regarding this would most likely be in their handbook (which can usually be found on the school site).
Both Exter and Andover have laid out which towns are strictly day and which have an option. Just shoot out an email to the school in question.
