Small classes are great, but I can't hide out when I don't do my homework. I suppose that is a good thing. The classes are hard, but that is also a great thing because it keeps you intellectually stimulated and always on your toes for what is thrown your way in the classroom.

I suppose the worst part is that I have limited free time when taking on all of my classes. Of course that depends on whether or not you take AP/honors/regular classes. However, this will prepare me for college and make it a piece of cake.

An amazing coaching staff! Continually Avon performs amazingly well, not only in just football, hockey and lacrosse, but through Golf, Tennis, Squash, Track, swimming and soccer. Avon produces professional and Division 1 athletes year after year.

The worst part about athletics is the same at all schools, they are hard, tiring and full of sweat.

I do not know much about the arts of AOF, but from our plays, musicals and many awards won every year, I can assume that we are better than average.

They only thing bad about the arts program (since I have limited experience in it) is that the art building is pretty far from my dorm.

Jeez that list of clubs is long. I love that there is always something going on around campus, whether it is a school dance, Habitat for Humanity, the nimrod club (an AOF community service type program, mostly within the surrounding woods of the school), or the actual clubs that meet and play pick up games of stick ball or ultimate frisbee, or the chess and stock market club.

We have so many clubs that sometimes students become distracted by one or the other and are not completely dedicated to one or two.

As I spoke about in the school overview, the bonds I have formed with my AOF brothers. Also, the vertical housing. For each of the four halls in a dorm, there are different classes. this removes hazing and actually creates friends between seniors and freshmen.

The rooms are small, but that is offset by the fact that you do not spend much time there because everyone is so active.

Sit-down formal dinners. People complain about these, and demand more buffets, but it is a fact that these family style dinners let everyone get to know each other and really does make the school into one large family.

Lunch is required. Sometimes I just want to go take a nap before practice. Also the food begins to get repetitive after four years.

I was nervous at first, as expected, but I easily made friends. Like I said in the overview, my friends and I have an amazing relationship.

There are many foreign students. My best friend is from Korea and he just moved to Indiana this summer (ya, it's an odd choice of location). I actually went to Korea with him over spring break before he moved.

I meet with my girlfriend (yes, I have a girlfriend at an all guys school, there are two all female schools within running distance, at least for a Cross Country athlete anyway). I have also frequented the movies since the school provides for the cost of the tickets. I also go to the mall, watch/perform in sports games, go to dances and take part in club activities.

You can go to the local commons where there is a strip mall that includes a movie theater.
