<p>^^My observation: whether or not CCers put Loomis in the acronym category, Loomis students and families consider themselves part of the Connecticutt boarding school world, which includes the likes of Hotchkiss, Choate, & Taft, so the perception within the community encourages an “acronym” mentality, as
already expressed in this thread. Not saying good or bad–it’s been OK for us and our DC because he’s fine with the competetive, get ahead orientation there and we are not local to Connecticutt so we’re not much involved with comparing notes with other families. But for those who might be wondering about the culture at Loomis, I’d just offer that it seems to us to be “more acronym than not.”</p>
