I'll love some help and advice ! Boarding School , Andover

<p>Hi! I'm a student at south america but due to our social and economic situation, well the country's, i will love to study abroad. Since my parents can't come along, my only way is boarding school and i have chosen a few.
Phillips Academy Andover is my first choice because of what i've seen in the internet and because i've traveled to Boston and i like it there. Anyways, i have a few questions and i'll love some answers.</p>

<ol>
<li>Is the application for international students easy?</li>
<li>Can i apply on 2010 if i want to start on September 2010?</li>
<li>Its a bit expensive , so i'm wondering if they have financial aid and how is it? </li>
<li>am i going to like this boarding school? is it going to be hard being a new student?</li>
</ol>

<li>I have no clue, since I live in the states, but it should be similar to the standard.</li>
<li>Well the Admissions deadline has already past, but, you can start working on your application for 2011. </li>
<li>Yes, do to the endowment of the school, (in the millions), they can afford to financially support, scholars that are in need of financial support.</li>
<li>This is a hard question. It truly depends on your personality. I can give you some background though. Andover is a school of academic rigor, excellent athletics, and awesome facilities. They do not have many Saturday classes (about 4 a year), and there is no formal dress code. But keep in mind, not many people can go through Andover without studying, picking up their textbook and reading, and working hard. So if you don’t like doing these things, then maybe Andover is not for you. All in all, it is a wonderful school, and hopefully you will get accepted next year.</li>
</ol>

<li>Andover’s need-blind, which means the admission people do not consider an applicant’s financial situation when deciding admission.</li>
</ol>

<p>thanks for all the answers. probably i’ll make some more later.</p>
