[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a freshman so can’t personally comment much with a week of experience. Chose it over BI, which is closer to our home, as it’s a bigger school and seemed to have more varied opportunities. Also seemed to have smaller average class sizes on paper, and the tour and admissions process was much more personal. We’ve been very impressed with the Head of School, who took time to meet and talk to us (and I assume everyone who tours) last fall. DH and I would describe ourselves as liberal and our kid is coming from a k-8 parochial. So far, it’s been a welcoming environment (my kid knew absolutely no one going in). A friend’s kid chose it over BI, too, but couldn’t handle the to/from logistics after a year so left O’Connell and transferred to BI, though says they still prefer O’Connell after experiencing both. Just couldn’t make the commute work long term.[/quote]
