hey guys!
sorry for late response
ok here we goo

Sevendad:
What was the toughest thing to get used to as a new student at SPS?
(Did you come from a private middle school or a public one?)
I’ve gone to public school my whole life. The biggest change was how the people act. There will be people at school who are snobby and think they’re better than you, but you just have to ignore them and find you core group of friends!

Assuming you got into other schools, why did you choose SPS?
I chose SPS because I loves the campus and the people did seem friendly. As I said earlier the people there can be snobby, but not all. Most people tend to be nice and the seniors are really nice.

What’s your favorite thing about SPS so far?
My favorite thing about SPS is my friends. I’m so glad I came to SPS because of the many opportunities that I have here. I have met so many great people here and don’t know what I would do without them. I also really love my advisor and I am so lucky to have her. I also really liked how the dorm is not split into grades. I have made really great friends who are not in my grade

What’s your least favorite thing about SPS so far?
As I said before some of the people there can be snobby and what not but you just have to get used to them. You will meet these types of people everywhere.

2kids:
What was the biggest surprise for you at SPS?
My biggest surprise arriving at SPS was the people (see above)

Is there a lot of the usual drama (she likes who, he likes who)?
Not really. I mean there is always bound to be drama at any school, but the drama at school is petty and pretty meaningless. I mean when you go to boarding school, what else do you have to do? haha some people make stupid stuff but you just have to ignore them or confront them.

Can you comment on what is meant when people say there is a lot of freedom at SPS?
I really like at SPS how you don’t have mandatory study hall. I know other schools have study hall and lights out and I’m glad that the faculty at SPS are able to trust you.

Helang425:Yeah that would great fi you get in! I hope you do!
and it depends on what you do at you time in SPS. I did rec skiing in the winter so my parents had to pay an additional $600 or so for bus and access to the ski lodge (pat’s peak), also books can be expensive, but you can rent your books and bring in your new books and get a rebate.

Glenabbey" Congratulations! what form will you be entering? And orchestra is really great! Im pretty sure if you’re in orchestra you have to take music comp. which meets about two times a week so you will be having like 2 free blocks if you don’t take 6 classes(which new 3rd formers don’t do)

anymore questions? :)
