"The dorm is the best part of boarding school. I am so close with everyone in my dorm, especially my roommate. We come from different worlds—she is from Saudi Arabia. They do a really good job of pairing students together. My friends at Exeter would never let me down. You live with them, eat with them, laugh with them, cry with them."
"I think [boarding school] has bettered my relationship with my parents—because when you go home you're just so happy to be there. You don't have silly fights."
"There is definitely a perk to being independent. After only a year of being here, I matured so much—compared to my friends at home."
"Boarding school is not a rich kid thing. It's not like your parents have to have a big mansion in order to come here. [Nor] is it a Ralph Lauren ad—it's not all preppy people. It's also not a place your parents send you cause you're bad."
"Before I got to Exeter people said there is social life, sleep and school, and you have to pick two. I don't think that's true. I have all there. It's possible to do if you manage your time."
