<p>I believe Andover is accessible to Boston via public transportation (for weekend excursions).</p>
<p>Andover is closer to the Boston airport. Look at how each school handles getting kids to and from the airport. Most likely it will take less time snd money from Andover. You could ask to be put in touch with a family from each school with a travel situation similar to yours to really get the details.</p>
<p>I knew my D would be taking an airport shuttle but was surprised at the cost based on previous experience with a less rural school. However my D’s school provides special shuttles to NYC and to NY airports at times convenient for Asian students. That just doesn’t help in our particular situation.</p>
