@sunnyschool Weāve exchanged social media. & Iām you enjoyed my write up!
@lusitari and @āNico.campbellā itās also so nice that you took photos for @atria. Even if you end up at 2 or 3 different schools this is a friendship worth keeping!
I was wondering the same thing @sunnyschool! Surely @Nico.campbell isnāt a golden retriever with goggles!!! Of course, if you see a French Bulldog on revisits, yāall will know it is me! :)) To answer your question, Nicoā¦and we have another, but sheās a fawn. I should probably give her air time, too. :o3
Thanks for those photos @lusitari and @ānico.campbellā ā¦ It was high 80s and humid hereā¦ so naturally I was drooling over the white covered campus ā¦ And I loved reading your revisit reviews ā¦
Serious question though: Were there vegetarian options? I think my take-out limit is twice a weekā¦ Probably less if itās for 3 years
On the plus side, I heard there was an okay-ish Indian restaurant in Concord :Dā¦
@Atria I talked to my host about vegetarian options, and thereās definitely accomadations, and thereās always the salad bar!
@Atria I would say youāre good in terms of your dietary restrictionsā¦ although the options were a bit limited, there were definitely veg options!
@AppleNotFar there are some pretty great photos of me looking mental in front of a giant Middlesex banner, taken by @lusitari
=)) Salad barā¦
@lusitari if there is one thing you should knowā¦ Its that I am the most unhealthiest vegetarian you will ever meet
I think that all three of you should go to MX together @lusitari @Atria @Nico.campbell !!! Interesting that you all became friends on CC and were outgoing enough to join and be social on here and then you all liked MX! Maybe there is a warm friendly feeling you are picking up on.
We toured MX and loved it. Just nothing bad to say about it besides the size. DS got rejected (only rejection) but I still think itās a great place.
So someone told me to discuss my revisit at Deerfield which I am happy to do!!
So I came in yesterday actually at 10:00 and I walked in totally overdressed, but the performances took my mind off of it. They were amazing!! Then I met my shadow and we walked to her science class I think. She was so sweet and the class seemed perfectly challenging. After this class she had math and I met so many of her friends. They were all super sweet and welcoming. We then walked to lunch in this huge dining hall and had sit down lunch because Deerfield has a unique meal style. It was so much fun and there I met another prospective student. We attended an English class after this AND OMG I LOVED IT IT LOOKED LIKE HOGWARTS!!! The teacher was also amazing and the Harkness Table actually had serious discussions. Later we saw the dorms which were gorgeous and cute and literally MY DREAM
So today I went back because my parents wanted to see. I saw the breakfast and apparently the food is amazing, two girls volunteered to take me around everywhere. I got to visit most of the girls dorms (beautiful and very inclusive) and then the dining hall again. I also saw the Greer, which is way different than I thought! People from anywhere in Deerfield and Greenfield (I think thatās the town surrounding the school) can go!! So I saw a lot of kids my age. Anyway, all in all Deerfield was amazing and after visiting two times there is a big possibility I will be attending in the fall. Groton still has a chance, but their re visit day has to be literally perfect!! I hope everyone had fun, and I have also met a couple of ppl from College Confidential. Everyone is hidden in different ways so look out for unexpected friends!!
@booksandfries @Nico.campbell, @lusitari Great writers, all! Thanks for your impressions. I felt like I was there!
Yep! Love reading these perspectives of each school. Thanks, @booksandfries !! Canāt wait to hear more!!!
Oh wait ā @booksandfries ā you did forget the most important partā HOW WAS THE FOOD???
Ahahahaha yes I did!! It was really good! The dessert is honestly the best thing there!!
After calling/chatting with @lusitari and @ānico.campbellā I feel like I could write my own review/impression of MX ā¦
"This morning I visited Middlesex, it was an interesting visit as I primarily did it sitting on my bed, while video calling people 7,000 miles away. My take on MX isā¦ " :))
Iām so excited for Exeter revisit day. I love when all you (what we call preplings) come and visit us. Itās really fun being a host and showing you everything we love about our schools.
@Atria and @lusitari Iām a vegetarian and Exeter is great about it. Tell your hosts to bring you to wetherell dining hall because they have even more vegetarian options than elm dining hall. If you want like a complete rundown of all veg options, pm me.
Iām revisiting Exeter this Thursday!!
We are revisiting Deerfield and Exeter next week and I cannot wait. At this point we are still undecided yet we are hoping the revisit day (s) will clear up everything. Has anyone ever felt more confused after revisits ?
@booksandfries do you mind sharing what the girls wore at Deerfield during revisits?
Oh my gosh of course!! I was totally worried about that!! So first of all I am actually way more nervous after revisits because now that I have most of the information Iām worried Iāll make the wrong decision. So most girls wore colored or black jeans or nice leggings/pants. They matched these with sweaters or shirts and Northface coats or regular jackets. Since I come from a warm area I needed a huge coat and a cardigan. You can wear a dress but even the Deerfield students will be wearing very chill outfits. So if you wear a dress donāt worry about being a perfect student, remember interviews are over. So if you want to wear a nice shirt and some cute black jeans go for it! Just try to respect the main dress codes. @TexasGold I really hope this is a good answer and what youāre looking for.
