Exeter or Andover

<p>Hi, bluegene,
For performing art students who attend off campus activities like New England Conservatory music, could you please talk a little more about this. Which school is easier? Do these schools offer transportation for these students to New England Conservatory? Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>for homework, each class is harkness way at Exeter. That just meant you got do homework to prepare next day ( and every day ) whiteboard presentation/discussion. The total time you will spend on homework probably more than other peer school.</p>

<p>for off campus activities, Andover is near to Boston area and no Satursday class. What do you think which one will be easier to attend and participate? Remember 20% day students for each school. A few family live nearby and not far away to campus. Parent can check out students at weekend to attend off campus. Boarder will be difficult to do that unless you have trusted friends and sign a paper so school can let them check out according your permission. ( It will be not surprised if you hear people move near to campus before and after their kids got admission. )</p>

<p>just my 2 cents</p>

<p>p4, check this out. You might be interested.

<p>They may be more different than I thought.</p>

<p>DAndrew, thanks for the tip. Nicely-written article that highlights what many people have hinted at (and has, to some extent, been my personal perception). Also read both articles referenced about “snow day” follies. Since Andover and Exeter are both powerhouses, such subtle (or not so subtle) attitudes may (subtly) set them apart. No major differences though. But then again, don’t little drops make Walden Pond?</p>

<p>In the latter part of the article, I was puzzled by the suggestion that to each school a “type” of student would gravitate, for they were so different. Does this mean that masochistic workaholics go to one and jolly jocks to the other? I doubt it. All in all, everyone really makes decisions after evaluating (hopefully) a variety of factors for each school. And then of course students often get rejected by one of the schools, making decisions straightforward.</p>

<p>Again, if they are different (as opposed to perceived different), I still fail to see that. After all, the article’s last sentence refutes that very argument.</p>

<p>^^what’s the title of the article? when I click on the link, it opens it up to a page with multiple articles that don’t look like they are the article in question. thanks</p>

<p>Try not to judge the schools too much by what a couple of opinion articles say. They are usually just the same couple of people sharing the same views on the similar issues every week.</p>
