Why did you choose your school?

Hey guys,

I know that it is waaaay past April 10th and you have definitely made up your minds about which boarding school you will be going to. I just wanted to start this thread because I am way too excited to be going to a boarding school in 5 months, and I just want to keep the excitement going. I’ll start first!

I chose St. George’s School in Rhode Island. I was also accepted to Dana Hall and Milton, and wait listed by Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Middlesex. I will be enrolling into 10th Grade (fourth form).

I chose St. George’s School because I know a friend who goes there and she is also Asian. I talked to her father and he said that even though St. George’s have a small population or very few Asians, the Americans or white student body do not act snobby or stuff like other prep schools, maybe. Also, it has a student body of 400 and I guess it gave me a very warm feeling.

The acceptance letter was very personalized unlike the other prep schools who just copied and paste the letter just changing the names. It mentioned what you told the interviewer during your interview and traits that St. George’s appreciate. Also, in the admission packet, a St. George’s tshirt is mailed to you. They really do welcome you to be a part of their family.

I have never actually been to the school, but I like the feeling that I have gotten through the website, and their various instagram pages run by students and the school. I also heard that Newport is a very nice town and city.

Did I mention I will be enrolling with my twin sister? Guess it makes it better that we will be looking out for each other.

Anyways we are both very excited to be embarking on a new journey!
