<p>Hello…I was looking at some Arial shoots of Andover and it looks like the Dorm, Academic buildings, Music Building and athletic facilities are not link together, well like a road apart. Doesn’t it seem awrkward ? I don’t know… and is it a good place to live and study? Does it feel good? Like no weird thing happening around the schools. I’m thinking of applying for 2012-2013</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Andover’s campus isn’t that complicated actually. Andover’s campus is basically cut by main street. On one side of the street, it contains all the academic buildings (except the music building), two clusters (pine knoll and flagstaff), and the dining hall. On the ohter side of the street, there are three clusters (west quad north, west quad south, and abbott), the music building, and the tennis courts. I’ve never formally attended PA, but have visited the campus multiple times. The walk from one side of the street to the other takes around 5 minutes. On one of my tours, I asked what the longest walk would probably be, and he said it would be if from the abbott cluster to either the science building, or English building (sorry, don’t know the names!), which would take roughly ten minutes at a walking speed. you are also given 10 minutes in between classes, so the walks are doable. The majority of your day would be spent on the side with most of the academic buildings, so it wouldn’t be that awkward to walk back to your dorm on the other side of the street every day. again, i haven’t actually LIVED at andover (but will be this fall!). these observations are coming from my visits to andover over the past year. </p>
<p>Good luck with applying!</p>

<p>Andover has the look and feel of a small Ivy League college replete with beautiful quads, historic buildings, and world-class facilities that range from the Addison Museum of American Art to twin hockey rinks. And the town of Andover is as nice and as safe as it is easily accessible to the campus.</p>
<p>If you can, visit Andover while school is in session. Meet its bright and engaging students. Walk through its five dorm clusters that serve as small residential neighborhoods within the larger Andover community. Visit the dining halls at Paresky Commons, which are considerably nicer than the ones you will find at most prestigious colleges. And sit in the beauty of Cochran Chapel beneath soaring arches and angel adorned columns.</p>
<p>In the interim, take a look at this video: [Andover</a> Time Lapse on Vimeo](<a href=“http://vimeo.com/25291118]Andover”>Andover Time Lapse on Vimeo). I think you will like what you see.</p>
<p>Good luck with your prep school search!</p>
