Ooo tricky question.

Okay what I liked most was the sense of community. I loved my grade. My grade didn’t have any drama and we all pretty much got along. Moreover, you can go into the dining hall during a mealtime and find someone to sit next to and not worry if they are thinking “why is he/she sitting next to me?” Everyone there really is behind you and wants to see you succeed. Your advisor is there for you not just academically but personally. Your teachers are supportive of you and really want to help you succeed and make sure you’re doing the best you can. I loved Groton Night because that’s when you really can see the whole community gathered into one room and plus it’s ridiculously fun even if the administration decides to shorten it. (yes there are some people who don’t get along and there is some drama, but it is considerably less than any other school I’ve attended)

The thing I hated the most about SM is leaving. The Dean of Students was not my favorite person and generally was behind the things I hated. So the fact that she is leaving makes me think SM is really going to become so much better and I’m quite jealous.
