<p>My son has been accepted as a third form student at The Hill. Can anyone comment on The Hill ( faculty , facilities. Dorms, ? nurturing, academic rigor, camaraderie of students).</p>
<p>If anyone can answer my inquiry regarding The Hill it would be greatly appreciated. My concern is that I have heard a couple of posters comment that they have been accepted ( as my son has) to Blair and The Hill. It seems that Blair is chosen and preferred. Unfortunately, I was not as pleased with the facilities at Blair ( seemed like they needed to be modernized) and the Dorms were not very nice. I did visit the school on the only snowy day of the year so that too could have jaded my view! If someone could comment on The Hill ( good & bad ) it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Hi I am currently going to The Hill School and I really don’t like how school works.
I transferred from another boarding school to The Hill School because my old school was not academically good. I should say the hill is academically good, but the school does not really support extracurricular activities. And also the hill does a bad job when applying to college. This year the hill only sent about 5 students to Ivy League schools… which is really low. I am sure that the hill school is relatively good in making friends. Everyone is nice except for some teachers. I would recommend your child to go to Blair. I have a strong feeling that The Hill is falling badly. All the good teachers were hired by other schools such as Lawrenceville and Deerfield. The school also makes you pay a lot other than tuition fee. Everything you buy is extremely expensive and the school actually gives you a demerit or warning if you do not have athletic suits(which costs about 100 dollars) on your away games. So I recommend Blair.</p>
<p>Thank you Numdorl. Are you a boarding student? If so are the dorms nice ? Are the teachers fair and with a new headmaster I would think The Hill would be changing for the better. Please elaborate if possible.</p>
