First off Net TV is way off on boarding schools\n\nI went to boarding school and loved every minute of it.\nYou don't have to be extremely wealthy to go to boarding scholl they do offer scholarships especially if talented at sports. Diversity is  huge at boarding school you have many other students from other foreign countries all over the world. You have plenty of fun in boarding school because you are living with your best friends and my boarding school had plenty of activities. Boarding school is not just for trouble kids I wasn't a trouble kid and went to boarding school cause i wanted to. I had no trouble getting intouch with my family I had my own phone in my room which had my own voice mail and I would aways talk to my parents Also with email these days it's easy to get in touch

As long as you have good grades and have been active in extracurriculars at your old school, you will almost definitely get in.  Lake Forest has a high acceptance rate for a coed boarding school (more than 50%), and its average SSAT percentile is only 74%.  You can see the schools admission statistics at this website: http://www.boardingschoolreview.com/school_ov/school_id/200 .\n\nIf you're applying for financial aid or scholarships, the bar may be a little higher.  In that case, the most important thing is to convince the admissions committee that you will thrive at their school.  This is very different from mere academic performance--they want to know that you will contribute something interesting to the school, and that you will be happy there.  \n\nYour best opportunity to convince them of this will be in the interview.  So be prepared for that interview!  If you get nervous in interviews, try practicing by doing mock interviews with friends or family.  Also, if you feel nervous during the real interview DON'T frown at the interviewer or get quiet.  When I'm nervous in interviews, I consciously smile a lot--this helps me relax a little, and it's something that interviewers react positively to.  Finally, come up with some questions for the interviewer ahead of time--questions about the school's culture, the student body, the teachers, etc.  \n\nGood luck!

New England and New York have got most of the ivies and as \nHarvard University and Yale University they are the best in that area , no other names strike me.\n\nThey are top in Business management , medical (Harvard) , Law(yale) , MIT is top in engineering , educatinal sciences(columbia) they have most of it covered. Then other ivies like brown and dartmouth are also pretty  good.\n\nCheck out the following link also if you want to , it may help : http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/rankindex_brief.php

No. Only about 7% of pupils are in private (non-state) schools (often confusingly referred to as 'public schools').\nOf them, only about 13% (or around 70,000) are boarders.\n\nThere are very few state boarding schools.\n\nBoarding schools tend to be expensive, elitist and generally restricted to upper-class and upper-middle-class pupils. Their decline is possibly linked to the decline of the British Empire and of the nobility in general. Many children of ex-pats were sent back to the 'mother country' for their education whilst their parents remained in the colonies.\n\nOf course the Harry Potter image is all very romantic, but it bears no relation to reality.\n\nInterestingly the tradition of leaving home for an education has remained at tertiary level, with most young British undergraduates leaving home to attend university or college, in contrast to the norm on the continent.

Kendrick has the best RESULTS, but be careful. I know several girls who went there and it isn't very 'caring' - incidents of self-harm and eating disorders are above the national average, even for a grammar school crammer. Interestingly, even staff have ended up messed up in the hothouse environment. It would be a good school for a tough, smart, mature girl ... but maybe not the best if she isn't 100% hard as nails emotionally.

I would have to say public school because you get to meet more people. Sure they aren't that great, but at least you have friends.

I used to go to a boarding school and boy did I hate it! My boarding school was particularly strict so most of the time we couldn't go anywhere and stayed at school for periods of 4-5 weeks before a 2-day return home. It was horrible! We had no form of entertainment and knew little of what was going on outside the school walls. We were punished for the slightest of things---eating in the dormitory, using electric items, showering after 5pm, wearing sleaveless clothing or shoes without 'backs'. We were a set of bored boarding broods that had little to do but study, envy, and drool at the footballers we managed to get a look at in the local teen newspaper. Thank God, I'm finally FREE!

Please do not believe that a boarding school environment will automatically produce better results, nor an independent young adult. Boarding Schools can benefit a child, who has problems with self-discipline and applying themselves to study, but can be incredibly destructive to other children.\nI speak from experience, as I attended a'fine' English Boarding School, and would have probably obtained better results from going to a good quality day school. The qualifications generally come from a good set of teachers, and possibly you may have to pay to get the best, which is the way the world works, however, the boarding side does not neccessarily produce the desired results. In the UK, the Royal College of Nursing published an article last year, in which it stated that 'Boarding schools are tantamount to child abuse', and reported that many young people who had been through the boarding system were now currently undergoing psychiatric treatment for depression and other mental illnesses.\nIf your child is focussed, please consider tutoring or a good day school, unless of course, you just want to dump your kid on someone else who sees him as a commodity, not a human being!

Every alumni will tell you that they think their school is the best. U of Chicago has highly rated Business school (MBA program)... top 5 in the nation by all most all magazines and news papers.  If you want to study business, and can stand the cold winters in Chicago... U of C is it.  Only other that is better that U of C is Wharton school of Business in Philadelphia (at U of Penn) Columbia U is rated very high as well. Good luck.

Please ignore the extraordinarily bitter answer from the person who attended a UK boarding school.  I'm sorry he had such a bad experience, but American schools are nothing like British boarding schools.  Most American boarding schools are prep schools, offering more advanced classes and better quality instruction than day schools.  They are open to all good students, regardless of socioeconomic background.  Typically 30% or more of students are on financial aid, and the average grant is close to the full cost of tuition.  These students were not "sent away."  They are some of the brightest and most motivated students in the country.\n\nI attended boarding school at Chatham Hall in Virginia, and it was a wonderful experience.  Pros included a world-class education that prepared me for a competitive academic career at a top-5 American university, a very diverse student body from all classes and all over the world, very small classes, teachers with PhDs instead of just education degrees, a beautiful campus, horseback riding lessons for gym, free trips to places like NYC for school activities like Model UN, a great social network to help me in my career, and some of the best friends I'll ever have.  Cons were living 1000+ miles away from home (though that was exciting most of the time) and having to do much more homework than my friends who went to day school.\n\nBoarding school is not for everybody, but it is a great experience for those who are ready to leave home and live in a structured or semi-structured environment.  You will probably get homesick at some point, but you will be around lots of others who are also far from home and that may help you cope.  My first year roommate came from Korea, and when we felt homesick during the first couple months we would sit on the floor of our room eating noodles and telling stories about the extremely different places we called home.  By the end of the year our school was like a second home and we didn't get homesick anymore.\n\nAmerican boarding schools also tend to be less structured than schools in the UK--you will NOT be locked up and prevented from having a life, though there will be rules.  This isn't Uppingham we're talking about, but it's not some hippie commune either.  If you want to leave overnight or for the weekend you need your parents to phone in permission, but that is no different from living at home.  If you're leaving campus for the afternoon or day you sign out from your dorm.  Typically you have to be back by study hall or room check on weekday evenings.  And you may think that having study hall sucks, but believe me you will NEED the time to finish all your work.\n\nMostly, I had a great time at boarding school.  I met interesting people, stayed up all night with my friends, and learned a lot.  And I wouldn't trade the experience for the world.\n\nUnfortunately, the better boarding schools will not let you come second semester unless you are a super student and you have extenuating circumstances.  For example, my school took in several Katrina victims.  Otherwise you will need to apply the winter before for entrance during the fall semester.  Typically schools will not accept seniors, though some will accept PG (post-graduate) students.\n\nTry looking at schools on http://www.boardingschoolreview.com , where you can see school videos and read about the application process.

Apply to any of the many private boarding schools here. For info go to \n\nhttp://www.boardingschoolreview.com/\n\nto compare schools. Also, check schools in UK. Regarding some of the schools in the US...some give great financial aid scholarships. Good luck!!

Suffolk is a good school, but you need to take into consideration various factors including their alunmi network, job opportunities, internship opportunities, professors (whether they can become mentors or be available when you need them), etc. Boston is a great location for students and the city is amazing, and more importantly business-wise you should have many opportunities. Good luck!
