Review Excerpt:

What was the best thing that’s happened to you in boarding school?

"I loved Choate because of the people that I met. The teachers stand out as the best teachers that I have ever had, and the friends that I made there are irreplacable...I compare all my friends in college to my friends in high school, and they don't even come close. I think there is something about boarding schools in general that makes you grow ridiculously close to people in a short period of time. I also compare my college professors to my high school teachers, and I find that my high school teachers expected more out of their students than my professors do, and my teachers in high school definitely cared more for their students than professors do. " - Choate Rosemary Hall alumni, Class of 2001
