Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Boarding schools are wonderful, especially if you don't get along very well with your parents, it is like a vaction if that is the case. You usually do get paired with a roomate, by filling out a roomate sign-up type sheet (which the school should send to you in a packet, with info on the school), that asks about things like sleeping requirements, what grade you would like your future roomate to be in, and if they have been in that school previous years. Most boarding schools allow mini fridges within the dorm rooms, which is nice when you have late night hungers. Uhh, thats all I think I shall put in this post. If you have more questions about boarding schools just contact me, and I will try to answer asap.

I've never been to a boarding school, but I've read the book Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld so I kind of got the idea of it. haha
A boarding school is basically like a college. You basically stay in dorms, and in the book she had a roomate. On the tv show Zoe 101 they have roomates too( haha, I'm such a dork). I think you can request to be by yourself though. People in boarding schools come from all over the place, they don't know all know eachother. Basically people at boarding schools know eachother from previous years, so most freshmen most likely won't.

I've never gone to boarding school, but my dad went to a boarding school for high school.
It's basically sort of like college, somewhat. You stay in a dormitory and get random roommates (which is not always a good thing, because you don't know who you'll end up with...).
Students from all over the world come to boarding schools, because that is the main point of a boarding school; to help foreign or out-of-state students get a better education and increase the school's diversity.
Most people there will not know each other, as not very many students go to school at a boarding school, unless they actually live in or around the city that it is located.
I think that most boarding schools allow you to leave on the weekends to go visit your parents and such, and they also let you leave during in-service days and breaks.
I, however, wouldn't recommend going to a boarding school if you get homesick easily...
If you need anymore help, please feel free to ask me. :)
