<p>I know that schools like Exeter and Groton are top-notch, representing the best in secondary education.</p>
<p>But I have to wonder if they are worth dropping 30K a year. I mean, I got into Dartmouth from a regular old public school.</p>
<p>Since there seems to be quite to contingent of prep school types, I was wondering what some of you thought.</p>
<p>You don't go to prep school to <em>get into</em> college. You go there to <em>prepare</em> for college. For some, public and magnet schools better suit their interests. Prep schools are heavily liberal-arts oriented.</p>
<p>I have to say though, I think prep school really prepared me a lot better for college-level work than being back at my old public school. And for people who can afford it and are motivated, the resources are incredible. It's like college four years early- why not?</p>
