<p>Another consideration, besides the distance, is the difference in weekend activities from the percentage of day students–it not only changes the nature of the student body, but I am rapidly learning impacts weekends away as well. Day students have a social life from their prior school and neighborhood, and if your D/S goes to their home for the weekend, chances are there are parties of the nature you feared about. This is likely less of a concern at a school like SPS or Hotckiss, which is more remote and has very low day school population. Yikes!</p>
