Also feel free to connect with many of us long time parents and more importantly our kids!! I know over the years we have met many newly admitted families for coffee to share our experience and our kids have done the same. I am happy to connect any newly admitted Exeter families to one of our kids to share their insight and ask questions. With technology this can be as easy as the kids texting back and forth. Sometimes that takes the pressure off of speaking via phone.
I also highly suggest seeing if you can find the school newspaper online and look at what clubs they offer and see if they appear active on social media etc…
