Does anyone go to boarding school?

I really want to go to a boarding school. It's not that I don't love my family and friends, but I want to try something new. Does anybody here go to a boarding school, and if you do can you tell me about it and which one you go to. Thanks in advanced.

Haha I always wanted to go to one too after I saw Zoey 101 on Nickalodeon. :D
But that was when I was like 10 haha. But yeah likeee, I asked my parents and quite honestly they don't look like much fun to me at all. :P
Plus, most are like HELLA EXPENSIVE. :]

My bestfriend is going to boarding school right now. She is at norte dame in saskactwean in canada. she loves it but it really makes you grow up fast she has to be really indepdant. She only sees her family on thanksgiving and christmas and only for about a week so if you get homesick I don't suggest it. Also it cost a lot of money pretty much the same cost of university or collage about $10,000 a year and there are registration fees to but that includes food and board and school. She loves it a lot and its a great experience to perpare you for post secondary

I went to a boarding school for a year and made some friends for life, on the other hand, I missed my family and old friends.

I go to Solebury School in Pennsylvania, New Hope. It's very nice- It has a nice campus, nice teachers, and you'll LOVE the amount on homework

But you have to be in high school to board there- I'm not old enough to. :'(

I do, I thought I might enjoy it. I have been to two boarding schools, one being the prep school of the other. The prep school was aewsome, I made the best friends of my life there and I loved it. At my new one though, I cannot stand going back. Being there is alright at the best of times but never better than that. I would much rather compromise my education and live at home than be at a boarding school. It is really a personal preference. Boarding school can be hellish or great fun, unfortunately my current one is not where I want to be and I have asked my parents if I can leave. if you get homesick often when you are away from home, DO NOT DO BOARDING SCHOOL! Also, when the time comes ot make the decision about whether or not you REALLY want to go because most independant schools have a deposit that your parents pay to guarentee you a place and if you change your mind they will not be happy to lose it on top of all the other fees. Just think about what it would mean for oyu to be away from your house, family and local friends. Your social life is also severely compromised, you only meet a certain group of people and quickly become predjudiced against 'normal' members of society. I have found that independant schoolboys especially sterotype all boys who go to state schools as being 'chavs'. This prejudice surely isn't good to be exposed to? Make your own choice but if you want my advice, DO NOT GO!!!
