<p>Forget the other ones and apply to Andover ;).</p>
<p>Please don’t apply to Exeter. The food will kill you. The students will bore you, and the dorms need to be updated badly.</p>
<p>Last summer they redid lots of the dorms here at Andover. They all look very nice, though they don’t smell very nice anymore!</p>
<p>And we have awesome blue keys who make sick cheers. for example…</p>
<p>What do we like to eat?</p>
<p>RED MEAT! RED MEAT!</p>
<p>How do we like it?</p>
<p>RAAAAAAAWR!</p>
<p>fif hears the Crimson Knights of the Housotonic look good. Suggests that they will cover the 6 points they are giving the Borecats.</p>
<p>benevolent4them: I do believe we like our red meat raw. ;)</p>
<p>But my favorite variant of that cheer by far happened at last year’s faculty dogdeball game. The pink team was playing the orange team (The Illegal Parietals) and supporters of the orange team started screaming:
What do we eat? What do we eat?
PINK MEAT! PINK MEAT!
How do we like it?
MEDIUM!</p>
<p>So yeah, Andover is awesome.</p>
<p>LOL–thank you for your OPINION (as you clearly stated in your post.) That is exactly the kind of information I have been looking for on these forums. Of course I will not take what you say as gospel, but will factor it in when comparing with others’ comments, school marketing collateral and campus visits.</p>
<p>kafkareborn- what is it with you and your cynicism? just a fews hours ago this user accused me of being a ■■■■■ and also a “guy”
great, insult my credibility and my apparent sexual ambiguity (?)</p>
<p>not meaning to sound stupid, but whats a ■■■■■?</p>
<p>According to urbandictionary.com a ■■■■■ is “One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.”</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p> A few of you should reread your comments and see if they reflect well on either you or on the schools you represent. Circlemidnight’s original question was fine and she deserved dispassionate answers. But, this discussion has degenerated into name calling that[color=blue] should convince her not to attend Any of these schools! I ran a list of the insults, but decided that finger pointing was unproductive. </p>
<p>Most of you are capable of posting only positive comments on the schools you know best. So do it. A bit of competition over debate teams, soccer teams, SAT’s and SSAT’s is fine. Why feel compelled to dismiss or attack eachother’s statistics, invent statistics or assume that any school’s 1-3 year performance on any measure is permanent achievement? These are all wonderful schools, and yes I DO know many of them quite well. Name calling and insults are grossly and inexcuseably unecessary! Step back, take a deep breath and play nice. [/color]</p>
<p>You’re right, sorry. No point on cat fighting on this website…</p>
<p>Even thought PrincipalV does it all the time… whoops!!
Is Exeter really that demanding and hard?</p>
<p>Exeter is academically challenging, yes. But like most of these schools there are always some students that (by appearances) breeze through and never seem to work (probably really are). So depends not just on the school, but the student and the course load you take. You will probably find some students taking calculus as freshmen and others as seniors. If you add a varsity sport or a major EC, then you can be burning the midnight oil!</p>
<p>Might also go to the “EXETER? Ask a student!” thread. Get first hand input. My brother and another close friend went there (both bright, worked hard, and successful people). But a current student can do more justice to the question.</p>

<p>Doesn’t seem like Hotchkiss has lost a step from last year. Going to be a long season for the rest of the league! There’s always hockey season…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Loomis Chaffee has all of this. Check it out.</p>
<p>hola – fif has spoken to a Sarum coach who said that Hotchkiss is just loaded offensively.
The Crimsom Knights moved the ball, and scored twice on long kick off returns.</p>
<p>T-P lost to Cushing, and the surprise is Taft, which hammered AOF (!). Andover and Exeter both off to strong starts.</p>
<p>The Taft score is totally out of left field. A little birdy reported that perhaps it’s more indicative of Avon’s weakness than Taft’s strength. An interesting matchup with Deerfield this weekend (they’re OK, not that strong) will be a good indicator if they have had a miraculous rise.</p>
<p>True dat. Taft has just been so bad the last few years and while AOF hasn’t been great they always have athletes. fif expects Hotchkiss to roll in the Erickson, and meet A or E in the big game.</p>
<p>Risking a violent backlash from the Andover faithful…let’s hope it’s a team that doesn’t have a Bills-esque record in the title game. Some team needs to make it interesting at least!</p>
<p>I was not there for the game so really don’t know how much of that score was based on errors which is normally the case this early in the season. As for the spread in the score, Taft is use to it but usually the other way around. Oh, a jab at my Tafty friends so I say congratulations, finally. Aww, another jab. If you can pull off a winning season, I know alumni that will start giving again. Taft has not had a wining season since I don’t know when (10 years idk?). Maybe the tide has turned for Taft football. Now I’ve jinxed them. Good luck next wknd against Deerfield!</p>
<p>Back to the OP, check out St. George’s in Newport, RI, has all that you’re looking for and more.</p>
