<p>Son just got roommmate assignment and is in Abbott. does anyone know anything about Abbott??</p>
<p>Just found a thread from May of 2008 saying the following about Abbott: </p>
<p>Abbot - Hard workers, too nondescript and diverse to attach stereotypes to. Is known for having nice dorm faculty. </p>
<p>Great news about the dorm itself being nice but my 3 sport playing son hopes there will be a few other athletes to make the long trek over to the gym with!</p>
<p>OMG did you get the dorm assignmnt by mail or email???</p>
<p>I just checked my email and there’s nothing there so they must have gotten there’s in the mail. I haven’t gotten mine in the mail yet either so it must be coming on monday. The post office really needs to start delivering on sundays. :)</p>
<p>I know…I’m terribly excited though.</p>
<p>yes, he received it in the mail today. we only live 35 minutes away, so they must have mailed them yesterday. Of course we drove up there this afternoon and were fortunate enough to have met up with one of the wonderful security guards who let us in to see the room.</p>
<p>lucky lucky you!!</p>
<p>Son is in Wentworth.</p>
<p>Hi PA-C -I found this on the Exeter web site thought you might like it. ----------</p>
<p>David Pittman: There’s No Place Like Wentworth
Over the last four years at Exeter, I have learned quite a bit about myself, my friends, New Hampshire’s climate—and maybe a thing or two around the table. After an academically tumultuous prep year, and the growth that followed, I have come to truly love this place (despite the winters). </p>
<p>While on spring break my lower year, I caught myself telling someone that I was “going home” in reference to Exeter. The way it slipped out so naturally caught me off-guard. Upon reflection, I realized what it was that made Exeter home: the people. It was the fraternal bonds I had formed with my dorm mates and the relationships I had formed with the faculty. I can’t imagine living anywhere else on campus. Wentworth, over the course of four years, through ups and downs, has become Exeter for me, and therefore, home. </p>
<p>I believe I was lucky to be placed in Wentworth Hall. The guys in the dorm are like brothers to me. Most of us have been close friends since the very beginning. In our time here we have kept many traditions alive; traditions that were handed down to us by the seniors our prep year. But we have also established some of our own, including our ritualistic cookouts on Wentworth lawn, which have become a time for us to talk, relax and generally take our minds off our academic work. Grilling together is a sanctuary in our chaotic schedules, a rare moment when we can stop and appreciate what we have here.</p>
<p>My advice to those not graduating this year: Take the time to appreciate this place. Slow down every once in a while. Try to keep it in perspective. Take the time to develop relationships with students (especially the people you live with) and faculty. Exeter is as much an experience as it is an education. Don’t be afraid to enjoy it.</p>
<p>thanks matonh that’s a great article!</p>
<p>Most people who live near Exeter/New Hampshire got their dorm assignments yesterday.</p>
<p>Here’s an article about Abbot that I found:
[Abbot</a> Hall (Phillips Exeter Academy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbot_Hall_(Phillips_Exeter_Academy)]Abbot”>Phillips Exeter Academy - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>I’m in Cilley!</p>
<p>Hi all -
My son just got his room assignment and he’s in Peabody with 1 roommate! I looked it up on the interactive map and it looks like it’s close to the Academy Building. Anyone else in Peabody?</p>
<p>Matonh - my son is a senior in Peabody. He has really enjoyed his time there. The dorm faculty have been wonderful. I will have him post when he gets home from work.</p>
