What are you involved in at º£½ÇÊÓƵ?
At º£½ÇÊÓƵ, I am involved in many of our clubs and sports teams. Some of my favorites include the track and field team and our Model UN club.
Why did you choose º£½ÇÊÓƵ?
As someone who wanted to go to a boarding school from a young age, I knew that º£½ÇÊÓƵ was right for me because of the freedom it offers students, especially those in the boarding program. From extended campus to the commuter rail into Boston, I have been able to find myself and my independence. Additionally, º£½ÇÊÓƵ’s wide curriculum offers me a great opportunity to explore my interests and discover new ones.
What is your favorite boarding memory or tradition?
My favorite boarding tradition is monthly birthday cakes in the Stu-Fac. It’s always a nice treat after study hall, and most boarding students attend, making it a fun bonding event for the boarding community.
Advice to prospective students?
Don’t be afraid to take risks and be yourself. As someone who was relatively shy before coming here, I have truly found myself and broken down my walls during my time at º£½ÇÊÓƵ.
Share a moment where you knew you belonged at º£½ÇÊÓƵ.
A moment I knew I belonged at º£½ÇÊÓƵ was during 9th grade fall, when I was talking to my heads of house and found out they both also liked aviation. I got to show them the plane models I had in my room, and it remained a common topic of conversation for the rest of the year. It helped me to realize that there were people who had similar interests.
