<p>One of my friends was like that too! We were talking about how psyched we were for no more check-ins and she was like, “But, they do have to like check us all in every night right, to know we’re all there?” No, sweetheart…in college they don’t care what you do and where you go. The freedom is definitely appreciated and I think most boarding school students handle the freedom better than those who haven’t lived away from their parents before.</p>
<p>BS students usually have a distinct, albeit possible short lived advantage with some of the following, as they have already developed time management skills, self-disclipline, acclimation with living away from home, independence, social skills, established connections , alumni networking and juggling a rigorous curriculum with a sport or club, if apropos. The writing skill advantage, and of course the alumni connections, are often the ones that remain with the BS college student, as the private schools definately hon and focus on effective writing, public speaking and reading skills (as well as the benefit of establishing alumni connections - they are generally very loyal and strong at BS). Hence, these are the areas that may remain a distinct advantage.</p>
<p>My D moved off campus as soon as she was able (sophomore year) because after 3 years of BS, she was already tired of dorm life. I think that’s understandable, but a detriment to becoming a “joiner” of clubs and participating in activities which occur in a dorm. She’s more independent and moving through the lifestyle shift quicker than I would like, actually behaving more like a grad student in many ways, even though this is her second year of college. I would have preferred that she had stayed in campus housing, and parked her behind on campus more, but she’s crafting her own life.</p>
<p>Boarding life just help the students better adapt the university life.(it is one of the most important goal of boading school. isn’t it?) it did not damage the university life</p>
<p>THOUGH goneverstop has bad grammar, i agree with him/her.</p>
<p>dang, RUDE!</p>
<p>Shame, Izzy. Sounds like maybe this person’s first language is not English. A bit of understanding might be in order.</p>
<p>Bump …</p>
<p>One question, less AP courses and higher PSAT cut-off will ruin your chance?</p>
