I am a current student at Lawrenceville, any questions about boarding school???

<p>UPDATE- going along with what whitelines said, after experiencing the school for a full year, many of the things I originally said were incorrect. Being at Lville for less than a month at the time, I didn’t really know what I was talking about. If anyone has anymore questions, I can definitely provide a much more accurate answer.</p>

<p>How is social life? Are people friendly or a bunch of bigots? What is the students’ consensus about the new student president?</p>

<p>Converge12: I thought you were a student at Lawrenceville based on you other posts. I, therefore, would expect you to already know the answer to your question… Maybe I got the wrong idea.</p>

<p>I am…I only asked on behalf of those who might be interested.</p>

<p>Hi! I’m applying to Lawrenceville this year and I wanted to know how the fencing team works out? I’ve fenced for about 4 years and I would like to know how long the practices are for each day if you know.</p>

26

<p>Girls’ fencing >>> guys’ fencing.</p>

27

<p>Haha that’s good then because I’m a girl!</p>

28

<p>I’m interested from a first time BS parent’s perspective on how the rules about drugs/alcohol/sexual conduct are enforced. Any comments?</p>

29

<p>We have a two-strike policy (2 major violations = out). But punishments for drugs/alcohol use are severe. I don’t know much about this tbh, but if you’re suspected to possess drugs, your room will be thoroughly checked by Public Safety etc.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the size of Class '13 (as exact as possible)?</p>

31

<p>235, precisely.</p>

<p>Great, thanks! I was also trying to find the “school profile” many schools provide to colleges. Do you know if there’s one for Lawrenceville published somewhere?</p>

33

<p>I don’t know of one that’s published online, but this is the closest to it you will find: <a href=“http://www.lawrenceville.org/data/files/gallery/ContentGallery/Information_Sheet_2013.pdf[/url]”>http://www.lawrenceville.org/data/files/gallery/ContentGallery/Information_Sheet_2013.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
