<p>what does metro mean? here it means the train type thing that runs on the 210.</p>
<p>Lol here also, he meant to say metro sexual. Type it in google, its hard to explain in my opinion.</p>
<p>oh. haha. :D</p>
<p>This made my day.
hahahahhaa
I have friends at Exeter and they are no where near metrosexual..
Maybe it was just her friends and by luck just the people you saw. A/E are very diverse.
I only have one friend who had never dated, was very conservative and whose parents never allowed her to date. By luck I just happened to be her first bf and broke up with her because of this.
Oh the irony.</p>
<p>Well my friend who goes there is incredibly hot. Not metro at ALL.
So there is hope. haha.</p>
<p>hahaha thanks.</p>
<p>bumpity bump bump =]</p>
<p>bumping this thread up. Anyone has anything interesting or serious to say about this topic?</p>
<p>hahahahha i think this is greatt
um i’d like to add how the international guys especially from asia tend to have cultural things so they’re totally new to everything when they start at boarding school
and also i agree that there are a lot of relationships between grades since in each grade there are a lot of people who are either much younger or much older than the rest of the grade and people care less about your grade or your age.</p>
<p>Interesting topic…thanks for bumping this. Not dating has been my one really big disappointment with boarding school. To me, socials and school dances are as awkward as it gets!</p>
<p>My best friend’s brother goes to Brooks, and she says from her impression of the place that there is plenty of dating. It seems to be a really mellow school where there are parties and hot guys but also a place where you can get a good education.</p>
<p>@ middlesex: there are definitely more hookups than relationships. Where might one hook up, you say? Usually the athletic center, which is free of faculty but unlocked at night, academic buildings (3rd floor of eliot especially), couch on the balcony of stufac (don’t ask about the stains, you don’t want to know), the docks, and of course the fields. there are no secrets at middlesex, it literally (literally!) takes about 5 minutes for most of the school to know something.</p>
<p>An anecdote from my sis’ days at a HADES school…
One of her friends and this guy met during 10th grade, started dating, both now go to Harvard, still dating…
I love this couple because they are so cute! Everyone thinks that they will get married.</p>
<p>Prep school relationships can get very interesting. Because you are around one another so often, the hours that couples clock in with each other can reach absurd levels and you’ll see a lot more of the “attached at the hip” couples than you would otherwise. Hook ups can happen often and inexplicably or not at all, and there are more than a comfortable number of incestuous pairings that have happened (hooking up with a best friend’s ex, etc) because of the close proximity boarding school students have with one another (but I doubt this is more true at prep school than it would be at a public high school with strong cliques). And while everyone hears stories of sexcapades in exotic locations on campus, chances are you won’t ever do anything of that sort unless you make a concentrated effort to do so.</p>
<p>Despite all this, the Phillipian reports that Andover students have sex significantly less than the national average. Go figure.</p>
<p>Nice to Know (NOT)</p>
<p>bump
i just wanted to revive an in me opinion the best thread in the forum.</p>
<p>comments</p>
<p>After reading some of the above posts, I’m now looking for a school for my D that is attached to a convent, lol. JK</p>
<p>well as as student i guess it a bit more funny and somewhat relevant more to me
haha</p>
<p>Ha, no doubt. Parents get to spend time wondering what might be going wrong, and there’s a big one for parents of daughters. How to deal with that in absentia without coming off as either a prude or a libertine is what I have to figure out. :-)</p>
<p>Can’t say I was that comforted by Deerfield’s “3 feet on the floor” policy.</p>
