<p>Wow haha last year I also got into Milton ! I loved it really but Hotchkiss just totally clicked and that was that.</p>

<li><p>The dress code is practically non-existant for girls … They say they are clampiong down on it but they have said that for ages and nothing ever changes so grils basically wear whatever. But most just year skirts and tops. Guys wear shirt and tie or shirt and jacket. I ussualy opt for the second option. :)</p></li>
<li><p>No it is not cliquey at all. Since it is a medium sized school you make friends with just about everyone and it feelsmore like a family in blue than anything else. You will have a diverse group of friends. I have friends in every gradefrom both sexes from every continent on earth. xewpt antartica - though i am friends witha few peoplewho went there ! </p></li>
<li><p>GARLAND IS AWESOME !! We call it “The Hotel” so that dorm is just sick but it is for girls. Flinn is also AWESOME and spanking new. But it is also for girls. Edelman is for guys and it is awesome! Coy (where I am at - we call our selves the Coy Boys or the Gentlemen of Coy - is REALLY nice because of the people and average because of the dorm itself. most of the dorms are good EXCEPT Dana. Let’s just say it is the slytherin of Hotchkis ot The Dungeouns as it is known. But its for guys so you are safe. Its not terrible but i dont like it. </p></li>
<li><p>I have never been a 9th grader here but as 11th grader (an upper mid) I get 3-4-5 depends if I have been procrastinating or not … or if I havea debate meet or something comming up and i want to get work done in advance. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>5.YES YES AND YES. I have not made a single enemy at Hotchkiss and I can honestlytell you I do not know of two people at hotchkiss who hate eachother. Everyone is VERy friendly and everyone gets along just fine. That was the main reason I wanted to come here because I wanted to be part of a family away from family. </p>
