Choate Rosemary Hall - Review #5

Choate encourages every student to strive for self actualization within a challenging yet nurturing environment. Throughout my four years here, I received through instruction in literary classics, as well ancient and modern languages. I believe that this foundation in language and literature has helped me to become a better writer and storyteller, a skill I hope to exercise in college and beyond.

Choate has helped me grow into the woman I am today. I owe so many of my personal and career goals to what I discovered at Choate, and intend to remain involved with the school as an alumni long after I graduate.

I would have made an effort to be more outgoing. Moving to a new place can be frightening, but having friends to talk to makes it much easier.

I had fantastic teachers, caring friends, and a fantastic academic environment to explore. I am so grateful for my time here.

Choate is a fantastic school with so much to offer. Though adjusting to being away from home can be difficult, make an effort to reach out to the students around you!

Although the academic climate at Choate is rigorous and competitive, there is still enough room to explore and discover new subject areas.

I truly enjoy how Choate offers multiple levels to their athletic programs. I felt free to explore many different sports teams and programs, and learned invaluable lessons about teamwork through the programs.

Choate has a fantastic music program that couples individual instruction with ensemble performance. I have grown so much as a musician during my four years at Choate.

The array of clubs offered may seem dizzying at first, but there is truly a club for everyone at Choate. I forged so many great friendships through these clubs, and found that they were a great way to meet new people.

I loved living in the Choate dorms, and have made some of my best friends through the residencial program. I feel that living in the dorms helped me to become much more independent in my studies and personal life.

The cafeteria is fantastic and provides plenty of options for students. As a vegetarian, the buffet option was especially appreciated.

Wallingford is a great town, with parks, restaurants, and a movie theater all within walking distance.

I feel that living in the dorms really helped me to develop long lasting and close relationships with my advisers (adult resident assistants who supervise the dorms) and still look up to them as mentors and friends.
