<p>Any questions for a boarding school student?</p>
<p>I am attending a boarding school this fall… If u attended a boarding school, can you tell me how was the first day like?</p>
<p>Your first day you generally start orientation so you are put into groups and taught all the basics about the school. Your first day of classes are just like the ones you’ve had before! The teachers tell you expections/about the class!</p>
<p>are there any specific things you should bring with you (not the usual clothes, school things)?</p>
<p>How did you adjust to the homework load?</p>
<p>How long did it take to realize that this is school now… as opposed to summer camp or vacation or whatever… did you work hard straight away?</p>
<p>Some specific things to bring… Bedside lamp, an extra mattress pad or soft thing to put on top of your bed! (The beds can be uncomfortable) Organizing materials (place to put shoes, drawers for post it’s/pens etc) a printer is very helpful too! If I think of more i will post!</p>
<p>Adjusting to the homework load was tricky in the beginning but you will get used to it. To NEED to talk with classmates or teachers when you need help and it is so important to manage your time wisely and not get distracted! They will ease you into the work but be prepared to work hard!!</p>
<p>I think move in day was actually when it hit me that I was going to live at school for the next 4 years! You bring all of your clothes into the room and it sets in that your at school for the year! I guess you do work hard right away but the teachers definitely do ease you in so it won’t be overwhelming in the beginning!</p>
<p>Thank you @alphabetcrazy !! :)</p>
<p>Sure!! If you have any questions just let me know!</p>
