A friend who graduated from Loomis last year was accepted to excellent engineering programs and felt like he got great STEM opportunities there while still being able to have great humanities courses. @SevenDad 's oldest went on to STEM stardom from SAS.

As for the comment about day students bringing drugs and alcohol onto campus… I can think of 1 100% boarding BS with a lot of drug and alcohol use (not SAS). Kids travel to each other’s homes on weekends to party. I don’t think either of these 2 schools is an exceptional concern in that regard in any case.

As for size, SAS is well known for its tight community so while it is smaller, it is very cohesive. A bigger school does give you more social opportunities, yet even at LC, you are likely to know most of your classmates pretty well by graduation. I suspect at both that you will be feeling ready to move on by graduation!
