The perfect resource for students, prospective students and parents contemplating a boarding school education. The first edition of this student-, teacher- and administrator-authored book became an indispensable reference on what life is like in a boarding school. This new, second edition substantially expands on the first edition and will become the staple for those wishing to do a 'due diligence' examination in the search for the right decision.

The contributors to this comprehensive view of boarding school life tackle a variety of subjects both inside and outside the classroom, including 'Settling In', 'Settling into Relationships', 'Beyond the First Friends', 'Extracurricular Life', 'Citizenship, On and Off Campus', 'The Rewards of Taking Academic Chances', and 'Curricular Matters'.

This book is a must for students and parents considering a boarding school education, for many young people the first time away from home.
