<p>So what are the pros and cons of each? And exactly how far is Newton from the main campus?</p>
<p>try looking at this earlier thread: </p>
<p>it gives some insight into the comparison between the two</p>
<p>My daughter who is now a junior, dormed at Newton. She has advised my son, who will be a freshman in September, to try for Upper. She had a great experience at Newton, and still has the same group of friends she made there. But she said that Upper is more convenient. </p>
<p>On the other hand, Newton is a close-knit, cozy campus. Whichever campus you wind up with, you will probably not regret it.</p>
<p>BCmom, even though thats the company line, its true, this coming from a Freshman on Upper right now. I have heard rumors there will be quite a few forced triples on Upper though next year, matriculating freshman, pay attention for news on that if it matters to you.</p>
