<p>oh talk to your mother about it and tell him all the good points about going to boarding school. plus add a all girls school on your list but still apply to coed schools but only talk about the all girls school. & if that doesnt work…im sorry!</p>
<p>Hey so we worked it out. I stopped avoiding him and now we are ignoring the whole thing. i talked to my older sister who experienced something similiar to this with my dad when she was applying to college and both she and my mom said to go ahead and apply and they will help me with forms and stuff. They also said that if I don’t get accepted i can just not tell my dad that i applied and if I do get accepted then there is a 99.9% chance that he will be so excited/proud that he will let me go. So i am going to do that and hope that everything works out.</p>
<p>About the whole… “Moral, integrity” thing about Co-ed. </p>
<p>Explain to him that students are under a tight schedule of having to check into their classes, dorms and sports. They almost always have a watchful eye on you. And you should also explain that the kids there are serious about academics and in general do not want to get kicked out of a BS. Also the teacher student ratio favors the idea that you get away with less than regular schooling systems allow.</p>
<p>soso,</p>
<p>be careful about your plan, though. he’ll definitely be proud but may still not let you go. with my dad, he was proud, DEFINITELY proud, and said he knew that I would get in…but then he was your still not going, at least you know you got in to one of the best schools in the country on a FULL SCHOLARSHIP (im still ****ed). hope it works out though, and again, make sure that he never thinks about the boy thing at boarding school school. boys DO NOT exist to him at boarding school. the thing is…teenagers will be teenagers…and you may never know what would happen. you see he knows that the boyfriend & girlfriend thing is normal with christians & he will worry that you may get one and he would never know if you went to boarding school. with american schools, its normal to see teenagers making out and teachers don’t care because teachers or counselors wont call him about it because they think its normal (cause most likely they did it themselves) but with muslim people, its HUGE. hmm hope that makes sense. LOL. plus its definitely easy to stray from our religion, especially since from what’ve heard of from my friends, there are A LOT of hot guys. temptation is really hard to resist, and they’ll be all these people that are allowed to have boyfriends, friends that are boys, hang out with boys, make out, have sex (from what i heard, their allowed to do it but they have to use protection (parents encourage it because of the chance of getting STD’s and getting pregnant), and even if they werent allowed, theyll still do it. you just need 5 minutes and you could practically do it anywhere), wear mini skirts and revealing tank tops…sooner or later youll want to be like your friends & have the freedom that they have. even though they are the cream of the crop, we are still teenagers that want to have fun. if you do go, be careful, that you don’t get jealous and stray. hmmm LOL sorry for the ranting. anyways, good luck!</p>
<p>italian boarder,</p>
<p>got to disagree about your post.</p>
<p>i just read this post:</p>
<p>“My son is there now, and there is little supervision in the dorms after 7:30 pm when the kids check-in. They can stay up all night, and many seem to do so. I wish there was a little less freedom and more rules, but I am a mom.”</p>
<p>so it seems that after 7:30, kids are free to do whatever they please. well im happy that their having fun.</p>
<p>Not to burst your bubble… but your chances at FA arn’t good(as they used to be) as an international student. PLUS the US economy is having some hardships which limits the amount of US students applicants. So expect the amount of international students to increase which cuts your advantage. </p>
<p>But nothing can hurt the merit of good work.</p>
<p>Hmmm ups and downs. Boarding School can be an incredible experience. Most students are better prtepared for college and are ready to get their “money’s worth”. The adjustments of being away, responsible, independent, increased workload are already second nature for them. Colleges recognize it too.</p>
<p>wow that’s a toughie…i wouldn’t beat around the bush is all I can say. Get to it when you want to get to it and make it all in one clean break is what I would do. Just occasionally mentioning it would kind of annoy him (that’s what happened with my dad) and might make him disinterested in it.</p>
<p>o wow, i didn’t read the message at the top! 
congrats!</p>
