They're assigned by the dorm staff and your child will likely meet his roommate at the first student orientation. This system presents a unique challenge for students, because they have to learn how to live and get along with total strangers. This is the part that causes the most worry and stress among both students and parents. Parents, especially, worry about their child having a roommate who is unreasonable, "strange" or downright mean. But when conflicts arise between roommates, the dorm staff is available to mediate and help find acceptable solutions. .

Boarding schools are highly diverse and often have a large international population. A student's acceptance of and appreciation for people of different races and cultures will be broadened as he lives day in and day out with such a varied group of people.

Many former boarding school students say that the friendships they developed have lasted well beyond senior graduation. A boarding school is uniquely designed to create a tight-knit community among both students and faculty. It also allows teachers to take advantage of learning opportunities outside of the classroom.

The house advisors, or dormitory staff, often act as mentors email data positive role models for the students, and close relationships are formed there as well. Most dorms host special events throughout the school year that may be as simple as a "movie night" or as elaborate as a spring formal dance or full-blown theatre production. All of these events provide increased opportunities for students to work alongside each other, celebrate together, and get to know each other better.

One of the greatest benefits of all of these relationships is parents can rest assured that they're not leaving their children to "fend for themselves" as-it-were. Though parents may feel like they're leaving their kids alone, to figure out school and life all by themselves, the reality is that there is a campus full of teachers, coaches, advisors and other students who are ready and willing to befriend new students and help them find their way; in school and in life.
