Reflections and Advice:

1.) What do you think makes your school unique relative to other boarding schools?

Middelsex has a beautiful campus. Perfectly manicured lawns, gorgeous chapel, amazing dorms, and lovely classrooms. It is very challenging academically and athletically, and the faculty pushes its students to be the best versions of themselves. The social life is very fun but can be intense and intimidating for those who are shy or reserved.

My friends are the best thing to come from boarding school. I am still very close to my friends from middlesex because you bond so much.
