On our revisit day I think we'll take a better look in the dorm - closets vs. drawers, etc. My son will have to wear a blazer/tie every day so most of his clothes will be the closet kind, but it will be good to know how much space he has to work with. I think we'll bring the clothes down on hangers which I think someone sugested at some point (not sure if it was on this thread or not) if you are driving.

tanyoosha, I bought my daughter a pair of cute North Face boots. They are down-filled nylon with fur trim. Hers are dark brown and match her North Face jacket. They come in black as well. She is very "anti-UGG" and was thrilled when I found these for her.
arling...my son will not wear boots. I sent his old LL Bean boots and he did wear them once or twice to go sledding, but just wore his sneakers to class.

Insurance - The tuition doesn't include student insurance, it's around US$1,200 year. Can my S just keep in our family insurance or he has to keep both ?

Health insurance? Most schools will accept your health insurance. You need to make sure that your coverage will work for your child at boarding school.

these boots:

Bean Boots by L.L.Bean®, 8" Thinsulate: Bean Boots at L.L.Bean

and i didn't think they were cute either, my mom wears them, until i got to school and so many people wore them

Everyone in New England wears those kinds of boots.

tanyoosha · 03-25-2008, 03:15 PM

They're... okay. I'm thinking of getting just regular rubber boots for the rain and i don't know what to get for the snow...

btw keylyme, do you have a link for North Face boots? I couldn't find them online.
