How do you feel about the fact that Milton is about 50% boarding vs. 50% day students. Perhaps there might be less a sense of a cohesive boarding community? I don’t have any inside knowledge on this, I’ve just noted this.

On the other hand, Exeter seemed a little colder, more harried — and I don’t believe the educational experience will be any better than at Milton’s although on this board I have the impression that Exeter has more prestige.

DH seems to hold Exeter in higher regard, I am guessing because at the Ivy he attended there were some smart Exonians (is that what they’re called?) there; however, at another Ivy, or in another major, he might have met some smart Miltonians…

Good luck with your choice!
