[quote=Anonymous]Ok, here's a better way of articulating it: 1) You are at no disadvantage being in the middle of nowhere because the facilities are fantastic. In that sense, it's like being at a liberal arts college. 2) You are competing with a larger pool of people who came nationally rather than regionally. You might meet someone from a rural area or someone from Texas or California or Chicago. Or someone from China or Europe. Maybe this is not so important, but I think it would certainly shape your academic experience and networking potential 3) If financial aid is a concern, you might have better luck getting it at boarding schools rather than day schools due to the size of the endowment and need blind policies 4) You are living at school, so you don't have to worry about commuting eating into homework time. You also get a sense of independence. 5) The course catalogs at some of these schools have more offerings than even Sidwell or STA.[/quote]
