CHOATE 2024

Thank you very much! I have quite a few questions if you are able to answer:

  1. Are the classes Harkness based? If so, how are the grades based off? What percentage coming from discussion participation, what percentage from homework, and then exams (if there are any)? If a student is shy in participating in the discussion, is he/she at disadvantage?
  2. For the concentration programs, can you participate 2, or you’re only allowed to participate 1?
  3. For Freshman, if you are assigned with some roommate that are not nice, what is the process of asking to switch roommate?
  4. How far is the walk from Dorms to classrooms, is it safe in general? Is the campus open to all, or there is gate checking incoming visitors?

Thank you so much!
