The Cambridge School of Weston - Review #6

The academic module system is something very unique; I have never heard of other schools with such a system. Taking at most three academic classes at a time prepared me for college ('cause that’s how college works), and breaks between mods gave us students an opportunity to recharge ourselves.

The best thing would be dancing at CSW. I felt I grew so much as a dancer by dancing in concert with so many dancers that are better than I am.

I wish I had run for a dorm leader position my senior year. I think I received so much from my boarding experience but wish I'd taken a leadership position to contribute back to the community.

I am most grateful that I made a few tight friends--the friends I know I'll keep in touch with for years.

Time changes things, but I would still recommend Kim Thai for some good Chinese food.

I liked how, after the requirements, we could choose our own classes.

In a small boarding school, sports tied all the CSW Gryphon spirits together. We all shared our joys or tears as a whole.

I dance, and participating in the dance concert is what I enjoyed the most out of my time at CSW.

I loved chilling on the quad doing nothing. Just lying on the grass or chatting with some friends was all I needed on a bad day.

Fractured Fairy Tales! This is something that happens at the very beginning of the year, basically each dorm chooses a fairy tale and twists it to its own version with some rules. My dorm usually won, and I believe that was the reason why I liked it so much.

Regardless of the quality of the food (which is usually pretty good), I love the dining situation at CSW; all the kitchen staff are so friendly, and I can see they have put so much effort into every single meal.

Boston is a very brisk city; it has four distinct seasons. Weston has a nice atmosphere and although CSW itself is a bit remote, it is still near the commuter rail train station.

I liked how the international students bonded, sharing our cultures and languages.
