I was just wondering if i should bring my car to my prep school (bridgton academy) just incase I need to buy things etc....

Short answer: no. Most boarding schools do not even allow boarders to keep cars.

If you're going to be a boarder I would check if you're even allowed too. If you are, I would....why not. I just got a car for the summer, I'll have to leave it behind due to rules...and the fact that I wouldn't really need it.

I think it depends and if you think you actually need it, but I would definitely check if it's even allowed first. Plus bridgeton is all Post-Grads so I'm sure there will be a lot of cars anyway

I highly doubt you're going to be allowed to bring a car as a boarder. Most don't allow it, and you really don't need it.

bridgton allows cars which is cool

If you plan on driving there in the first place with all your stuff you might as well. Considering its practically a college before college I'm sure lots of people bring them.

Just wondering, are you going to Bridgeton as a basketball player?

kobevsjordan

Bridgeton, all PG school is the exception. fif knows of no prep schools that allow boarders to have cars. Its called asking for trouble.

In the old days, many schools allowed Seniors to have cars in the spring, particularly if they had off campus senior projects.

Yup...I would probably say only Bridgton...considering its the only ass PG school in the U.S.

Kobe: I thought sports was a huge factor in admission, were you recruited for the team?

kobevsjordan

i think they are i dunno though.... I'am new to this PG stuff lol.... no I wasn't recruited to play on the team but Im sure going to tryout and try to make it

Proctor Academy allows borders (srs?) to have cars, but there are many restrictions. Students have to surrender their license plates. My son spent the year taking a wilderness medicine course at Proctor and is about to be certified as a medical first responder. As such, he will go out on medical emergency calls. He will have a car on campus and can't wait for his blue light.

Most BS do NOT allow cars, except under special circumstances that require advance permission from several administrative members of the school. Moreover, many do not allow BS students to even ride in the cars of other students or even other parents without approval.
