[quote=Anonymous]I didn't grow up around here but I went to a private day school elsewhere that drew kids from a 45-60 minute radius around the school, so it might be possible to be friends with some one who lived 90 minutes away. In middle school it was tricky for parents, I guess, but I suspect we had more sleepovers than the average kid and we did a lot of group activities. Not as many one-to-one hangouts, but a bunch of kids (carpool opportunities) getting together, just because I think it worked better for everyone.

In highschool, it was an awesome excuse to drive around.

But, a good private school keeps the kids occupied on campus most of the time... I was at school from 745-530 on a normal night, as late as 8 on Wednesdays (sports days) and typically had either voluntary tutoring or required study hall (for suffering grades) Saturday morning, and sports Saturday afternoon. That's part of the point of private school, the close community centered around campus.

Of course, you can also hit the jackpot (as I did) and have your closest friend live only a mile or so away.[/quote]
