Should I go to boarding school in the US?

Question

I'm from Costa Rica and go to one of the best private schools. This school has a very good education level, better than most of the schools in the US actually. However I'm etting the chance to go and study in some of the best boarding schools in the US. All of them are in the New England area. The campus, level of education, diversity of students and other facts make the schools incredible and far better than mine. Should I leave my country, friens and family in order to get a higher education? It's a great sacrifice for me. I have been educated with the American mentality and Costa Rica, though very beutifual and relaxing is just to small for my ambitions. Please help!

Answer 1

There are some wonderful schools in New England. I went to the White Mountain School for a year. I missed my friends and went back to public school. WMS had classes in the morning and we did outdoor activities in the afternoon, like skiing.

You will meet people at boarding school whom you would not otherwise meet.

It is a long way home for holidays to Costa Rica.

If it is important to you to go to a really good college, go to the boarding school. They will make sure you reach your goals if you are willing to work hard.
