[quote=Anonymous]Exeter alum here.  I probably only made it into Boston once every 4-5 months when I attended.  In part, that was because we often had a half day of classes on Saturdays, so by the time you finished classes and ate lunch, you still had a 75 minute one-way bus trip down to Boston. And unless you had permission to stay overnight w/ family, you still had to get back in time for check in that evening.

Of course, this is also assuming that you're not doing a sport that has a meet against some other school on that Saturday afternoon.  If you did, that pretty much ruled out your being able to go into Boston on that particular weekend.

Finally, keep in mind the immense amount of homework that Andover/Exeter hands out. Yes, your DC could take a break every now and again and visit Boston.  But they may find that more often than not, they'll be staying on campus.

I will add that one of my classmates went down most weekends to Boston, but that was because he was also the first chair violin w/ the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra and was going down there to practice w/ the orchestra, not sightseeing.  [/quote]
