<p>Hey all you Gents and Gals ! :)</p>
<p>I wasjust wondering if anyone could give me any information on the strictness of boarding schools in regards to off campus activities, like a concert, or a trip to the park, or a store, things like that. It's just I get "cabin fever" real easy, ans no matter how much I like a place, I can't be cooped up there for too long or i'll lose my mind.
Does anyone else suffer from the same affliction?</p>
<p>bump

<p>out of school now so gonna be really bored u guys.....lol</p>
<p>I know at Middlesex they take a bus into Concord every day, and a bus into Boston every weekend. I know at Lawrenceville you can walk to this cute restaurant called Fedoras. When I visited Andover people I saw students when I was out to dinner, and at Deerfield you can leave, but people usually don't (supposedly). So I think at most schools, you can go off-campus, but you usually have to be back by a certain time, so concerts may not be so easy. I'm sure it varies from school to school, too!</p>
<p>Depends on the school, they all have different policies. At my school there was a list of permissions that parents had to circle yes/no for on whether or not you could do it..walking into town/taking a taxi/driving with someone under 18/ etc.. Pretty much if you could find a way to get off campus, you could go as long as it was within curfew - which was maybe 6:00pm? on weekdays/Sundays and 11pm? on Fridays/Saturdays - and had the right permissions. Oh, and weekends the school had chaperoned off campus trips and shuttles to wherever you wanted in town.</p>
<p>Dazzlezzz, where are you going???</p>
