<p>Fit aside, in your (the reader's) opinion, which is the best?</p>
<p>Choate. 
This question cannot be answered as asked. You give no basis for comparison, and the real answer, especially if you are asking for yourself, is totally related to fit. There are so many threads on this board discussing how to evaluate schools that you might want to do a little searching in the discussion archives here for some good general information on how to evaluate schools and then visit the websites of the three you name to compare what each offers.</p>
<p>Ultimately, only you can decide which is “best” if you are considering these for yourself, but I see on another thread where you list your top choices and they are not these, so I’m not sure where your question is coming from.</p>
<p>On other threads I listed what I consider to be the best private day schools/boarding schools in general. For myself I have narrowed it down to these three schools (note they are very different from each other (exeter: bs, trinity: private day, stuy: public day). I don’t believe I ever listed my own “top choices”.</p>
<p>Back to the purpose of the thread, I ought to clarify as I badly phrased the question. My question was, rather, out of these three schools, what are the advantages they offer over each other? (e.g. academics, athletics, teachers etc.) I think have a good idea of the three schools, however I wanted to know other peoples’ opinions.</p>
<p>Stuyvesant vs Trinity vs Exeter:</p>
<p>You are contrasting 2 urban day schools to 1 small town BS. What is there to say? They’re all schools, just like apples and oranges are fruit.</p>
<p>You can compare apples and oranges. Its easy. For example, I prefer apples. Not that hard is it? This is not to say I do not understand the expression, but I find it be really overused on this forum, and in this case the “apples and oranges” really can be compared. They ARE very different schools, but they do share some aspects. Like, they all teach math, don’t they?</p>
