Since ThacherParent has already answered your question better than I could ever do myself, I’ll ask a question that hs been on my mind since spotting this thread.

You say “i got accepted into Groton, and I’m really curious as to what kind of stuff happens there.”…

My question is this: Isn’t the time to be curious about this sort of thing more like last summer, before you applied?

Over my years on the forum, you are not alone in asking a similar question with similar timing, but I am always surprised that people who have applied and ostensibly been admitted to some fairly selective boarding schools seem to know so little about the schools they will call home in just a few weeks.

Even if you could not visit the school in person due to distance or finances (or both), I would think that kids would want to know what they are getting into sooner rather than later.

Best of luck. And yeah, what ThacherParent said.
