okay so I know it’s not really ssat season and admission season and most people on here are graduating BUT - my headepace is at applications and studying right now since school is over and I have a whole summer to study and write , you get it . I’ve got a general list of schools that I want to apply to and then ones that others have recommended to me and I was just wondering if I could get a few responses to help me out!

Day Student vs Boarding?
Food?
any major problems? ( like lots of eating disorders, depression, anxiety things like that )
Sports life?
difficulty to keep up with academics?
Academics?
Wealthy vs Financial Aid kids? ( nobody really talks about this and I was wondering if there’s any real divide or avoidance when it comes to the kids who can afford the schooling and the kids who have to apply for scholarships and financial aid )
Overall community?
Do colleges look if you went to this school or a public - would it play a role in their decision making process ?
YOUR PERSONAL OPINION ON THE SCHOOL AND THE PEOPLE THAT GO THERE

So those are ruhr points i’m kinda hoping to hit and these are the schools ( in no particular order )

Choate
Hopkins
Hotchkiss
Taft
Loomis Chaffee
Suffield
Canterbury
The Gunnery

Thanks again <333
