<p>im thinking about going to hotchkiss (if i get accepted, please God!) and i was just wondering what can i expect of the kids. what do they wear, are the grades nice to each other, what are the common activities, etc. all of your input would be really great. thanks, and i hope to see some of you guys on campus next year :)</p>
<p>i am a senior at hotchkiss...pm me</p>
<p>You should just post it here, bearcats because I'm sure that other people would like to know the same thing as Lynn.</p>
<p>Hotchkiss is pretty remote, which some people hate.. i like it this way..it keeps the student body on campus and interact with each other...as opposed to being like a motel... it is..well..in the middle of nowhere, we do have shuttle bus to down every sundays running from 2-4:30 every 10 minutes where you can get supplies an stuff
hotchkiss people are generally nice, most people are outgoing. There's a preppy greenwich crowd, just like most boarding schools but it is pretty diverse at the same time
as i said, some people dress preppy , others dont..you can find all types of people, but a lot of intersting ones...a girl who performs at carnegie hall every other week, juggling champion..u name it
there's really no tension beteween grades...well..seniority is a significant thing for seniors, we do have a senior quad and senior grass but no one makes a big deal about it
what you do during free time is really up to you.. we have a golf course, people also like cycling up the woods, we have like 200 acres of those lol...mario cart lol..that's a big thing too...a lot of people just like hangining out in the main building....but there are dances every weekend, and big screen movies and such... people like to stay on campus as we have all these activities..
but the curriculum is very rigorous..there are nights that you have to pull allnighters, not like lower class years but junior and senior year</p>
