<p>When I asked my Spanish teacher to write me a recommendation for boarding schools, she asked what schools I’m applying to and I told her Andover, Groton, Taft, and St. Paul’s. She told me she thinks I would be perfect for Andover and St. Paul’s, she hasn’t heard of Taft, and that I am way too social for Groton. She said the kids are extremely intense. Is this true? I want to go to boarding school and learn a lot, but having fun is important to. It’s probably just a rumor, but I was wondering what your opinions are about this. I’m still applying because I know it’s a great school, and I haven’t visited so I don’t have much to go off of. thanks</p>
<p>She sounds like a good source, and a real expert on the subject.</p>
<p>Except for never having heard of Taft.</p>
<p>And the “too social for Groton” part.</p>
<p>Other than that…</p>
<p>She probably relies on Bunkel for her info.</p>
<p>Jonathan1, you’ll just have to see for yourself during the revisits.</p>
<p>Personally, Groton has probably the friendliest atmosphere. My tour guide was the best, funniest, and most sociable I ever had. I could tell that groton was a great school, better then i ever expected. Everyone at groton was sociable. Actually, most were better then the other schools because when i went to the dinning hall, a group of kids called me over to sit with them and had a great chat with them.</p>
<p>PS. I’m probably biased because i had the best time visiting groton.</p>
<p>I am sure you won’t be too social for Groton… I know someone who goes there and shes a very bubbly, funny, social girl. Don’t worry about what your teacher says though, it is your decision.</p>
<p>“too social” could mean a lot of different things…</p>
