I think as far as boarding school goes; everyone is going to have a different experience, mostly depending on the type of person they are, whether it was their decision to attend, and the school itself. Unfortunately I have heard of some schools with generally unhappy student bodies. I won't go as far as to name any in particular but I've heard things from people I know at other schools like, "Don't go to my school, EVERYONE hates it here!!"On the contrary, there re MANY people who go to boarding school an fall in love.
My suggestion is that if things are going well at your current school then don’t apply unless your 100% devoted to the idea of boarding school.
I found a lot of things lbftw said to be true, for sure more at some schools than others. My experience at my current school is that the usual boarding school downs (competition, snobby people, pressure ,etc.) are subdued so that most people who go here love it.(I would guess 75%). still, boarding school is definitely not for everyone.
