Growing away from home

Boys’ boarding

Five- or seven-day. A roommate, a laundry schedule, a study hall with adults nearby, and a Tuesday night that a student learns to run themselves.

Residential life

The residence hall is a classroom.

Living away from home is the part of college that nobody teaches. Here it is structured: an adult on every floor, a set evening rhythm, and the small daily decisions — when to study, when to sleep, how to share a room — made by the student with someone nearby if it goes sideways.
