From a parent’s perspective, it seems like you don’t end up with the same group of kids all weekend every weekend because of EC commitments. Athletic contests will bring different groups together, school activities such as ski trips will interest some students and not others. The list goes on… We did not apply to Milton because of the high number of day students and although we are less than a hour away from the campus, DD would have boarded. I think that Loomis Chaffee is trying real hard to lose the “day student” label to avoid being a suitcase school.
