I was accepted, debating between masters and hill…
Also, did anyone get their packages from Hill?
Im sorry to ask such a general question,
Ive heard a lot about Pottstown, how is it? can students take a walk there in the weekends?
What does the students do in the weekends?
How long is a school day?
Hows the dorms?
A couple years ago, packages from the Hill were just a bunch of paperwork and a sticker. Nothing too exciting.
Pottstown is getting better. The neighborhood surrounding the school, Hobart’s Run, is experiencing a lot of redevelopment. It’s a work in progress. I’m not sure about walking. As an adult, I would feel perfectly fine walking around the town, I’m not sure if they want students to. I think I remember reading that it was OK to go one direction, but not OK to go the other. Honestly, though, guskid is so busy that he never has time to leave campus other than school activities.
There is ALWAYS stuff scheduled on weekends. Trips to the movies, Target, the mall, and events around campus almost every weekend. Then also special things…The Crayola Factory, Hershey, various restaurants, sporting events, Escape room, plays, historical things, etc. Also, if there is something specific you want to do (some off campus thing) I think you can request it. They also have a “blue uber” on the weekends.
School days are…normal? I think classes end about 3:30 or so, then afternoon activities, dinner, and study hall from 7:30 - 9:30. Wednesdays are short days. Thursdays are shorter, class wise, but there is an all school meeting in the afternoon. Classes on Saturdays every other week or so, until noonish.
As a freshman, you’ll either be in Dutch village or Dell village. Dell is new, air-conditioned. Dutch is 1960s, no air, and pretty basic dorm like. But still decent.
I don’t know if this will help but Trump sent his kids to Hill
