Exeter Dorms- houses?

<p>Hi. I know this is pretty random, but i attended summer school at exeter this summer, and a lot of people lived in "houses"- Moulton House, Knight House, Gould House, etc. not dorms.
Do preps get placed in houses? what's the atmosphere like in the houses?
also, what is dorm life like at Exeter.</p>

<p>I have never known a prep to be placed in a house. They are usually reserved for new or returning uppers, seniors, and/or PG’s. I am sure there may be exceptions. I have known a new lower (international student) to be placed in a house.</p>

<p>^^^ all true but people that do live in houses as far as I know it love it.
But to comment on dorm life: it’s amazing!
I live in one of the smaller dorms on campus and we are really tight and always say hi to each other. We had a movie night in our common room the other weekend, and each dorm has little traditions that are always fun. so basically it’s the best :)</p>

<p>okay. just random but what time does internet shut off?</p>

<p>11 on school nights (which includes lots of Fridays); later on the week-end (can’t remember exactly when–maybe 1 am?)</p>

<p>Are you allowed to skate?
I love longboarding and skating in general, so I was wondering if there was a organization for skaters on campus/ if you were allowed to skate at all.</p>

<p>Yup, houses are pretty much all new upperclassmen. There are couple of houses in particular (one for girls, one for boys) who commonly house new lowers. A couple of returning students choose to live in a house the next year. Houses have a reputation for being boring because they have so few residents (usually 10-20), but having so few students can be really nice. (More room per person, depending on the house.) Also, there are no preps so they’re quieter and the rules are usually a little more relaxed.</p>
