[quote=Anonymous]Agree that the prior comment about the campus is weird. The GDS US building is well-designed, and with the recent addition of the forum, athletic center and the renovation of the science labs, is beautiful and to my taste a lot nicer than the 60's era upper school at Sidwell. There is no central meeting place for the students in the high school other than outside (currently a construction site) or the senior center (hang out only for seniors).  I would also wonder about the statement about GDS partying harder, I think just partying different.  And varies a lot class to class.  I think lots of stereotypes being thrown around that are not necessarily current or based on direct experience.  With recent experience with both high schools, I haven't seen any particular differences in the numbers of kids really in trouble with partying, or even the drug of choice (ie alcholol vs pot and other drugs).  Regarding college admisssions I agree with prior post saying that Sidwell's national reputation among the lay public vs GDS is meaningless, the admissions offices know each high quality school very well and don't see any particular differences regarding liklihood of admission at either place. There are really good college councilors at both schools. [/quote]
