I loved my three years there! I have had invaluable once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and experiences here and I have grown so much from my journey! Fair warning, it is pretty rigorous academically and, and especially a rather sharp learning curve if you enter after freshman year ,(I was a new sophomore) but, once you find or reach out to the necessary people, it'll make the adjustment so much easier. Though your schedule will most likely almost always be packed, that also means you have a plethora of opportunities to stretch and apply yourself, not just in fields that you cam into high school good at, but in new subject areas and co-curriculars you might have never even heard of before.
Teachers are professional and demanding yet caring. I am well prepared, have learned to think critically and to lead effectively. All my work is my own. There are a few students who still rely on parental help with homework, preparing for tests and building college application resumes. Fortunately my parents and teachers have let me be independent with my work and interests since elementary school. I do wish that Lawrenceville would recognize self-reliance in future applicants because the ability does impact collaborative projects and being a good roommate and academic peer. I hope independent projects can be vetted as solely student-generated work. Teachers have set up some basic ways to determine who is doing work and then grade accordingly for collaborations. The depth of honors courses is college-level and the experiences on and off campus are limitless. I am thankful to be a part of this community of learners and proud to be an honest Lawrentian.
L’ville is a selective, competitive school. If you are one out of 2500 accepted decide if Lawrenceville is a good fit. The school IS very demanding and you will be pushed hard to work 8:00am to 11pm every day, including weekends. If this lifestyle/pace is not for you maybe a strong academic day school with continued parental support is better. Majority boarding Lawrenceville is no doubt demanding physically, mentally and socially. Not stress free. The campus is large and you will walk miles with a backpack every day just to get to class and dining in all weather plus sports two plus hours daily. You will be non-stop busy. All the comforts of home are not the same as being at home. You must be a self-starter and be organized or you will sink. Be realistic if this is culturally a good fit, know yourself and choose wisely. Congratulations on completing your applications. Being accepted does not define who you are and does not indicate future limitations or possibilities. GBR!
