A frequently-stereotyped educational institution that often features a more diverse population than most people believe. Contrary to popular belief, not all boarding school students are snotty, preppy airheads and jocks. Not all are sent there as preparation for becoming trophy wives or CEOs. Boarding schools are not as weird and sheltered as they are portrayed to be (especially not for day students) and they do have significant value other than "getting the kids out of the way". Many parents send children to boarding schools for high school because they feel this will better prepare them for college life. Others live in areas with poor public schooling systems and elect to send their children elsewhere, so they can have a better education. It may come as a shock to some that many boarding school students come from extremely rural areas or from so-called "bad neighborhoods" and are there on scholarship. Living at a boarding school often puts kids in contact with people they would never meet otherwise, as students often come from all over the world. Interacting with people from different places and backgrounds generally broadens the students' minds and horizons. Dorm life requires that they learn to live with other people and to effectively resolve problems with roommates and neighbors. It is recommended that one actually visit or attend a boarding school (as with a public or other private school) before passing judgement. Urban Dictionary

Boarding school is a place where parents ship off their own kids. don't get me wrong going away prepares kids for college more than any other place. you have life changing experiences but many times the kids 80% of the time feel completely abandoned. most of the time its just a bunch of flithy rich kids,once in a while you will find a kid on financial aid that slips through the cracks, and ends up feeling like an outcast because they can't keep up with the rich kids. many kids are secretly suicidal because of the pressure to get into a good college, get good grades. and really smart people are outshined by even smarter ones. drugs and alcohal are used alot the schools have no idea. many students from prep school go to colleges like columbia and Harvard. if your going to go to boarding school go to one in Connecticut.. i mean it is the richest state in the nation. duh Urban Dictionary

A school you live at. A lot of times you get sent there when you're bad, or when you're parents are hella rich. Urban Dictionary

Boarding school, a place where the wealthy send their potential trophy wife daughters and CEO worthy sons. A casual luxury that only the northeastern country club members can afford. The boarding school will take these overly preppy children and will give them the finest education. Because of their large sums of money their is a casual influx of illegal drugs and alcohol. These kids are being raised into the upper class of soceity consisting of yahats, coctail parties, summers sailng off the coast of Nantucket and second or third homes in Maine, New Hampshire, and Coneticuit. Always wearing lacoste, ralph lauren, jcrew, and lily pulitzer these children have a classy sense of style. Boarding Schools students from schools like Andover, St Pauls, The Hill school, Exeter, Larenceville, and Choete( only the best in the nation) usually attend the finest ivy leagues. A popped collar, pearls, flipflops(even in winter), and mens rugbys shirts are an essential to a preppy life at boarding school. Urban Dictionary

A place where students can receive a good education, while also living the life of an orphan. These students' parents are often workaholics who are either unwilling or unable to raise their own children. Instead of growing up with parents, siblings, relatives, and guardians, 14 year old children are sent away on their own and forced to become family with strangers they may or may not like. While parents will brag about the excellent education their children are receiving, they fail to acknowledge that they don't even see their children regularly enough to actually see what schoolwork they are doing. In reality, these children could receive just as good of an education in a day school while also maintaining normal living arrangements with their own families. Some of these parents will be delusional and claim that they are involved in their boarding children's lives more than parents of regular students are. No, seeing your children a few days a year does not count as good parenting. Basically, this is pretty much an upscale orphanage where kids do not have the opportunity to excel in anything offered outside of their confined boarding school community. These children won't get part time after school jobs, won't get to run errands, won't get to visit out of town family/friends, and pretty much will have little contact with the real world. Urban Dictionary

A place where kids go to get away from home earlier than most, grow on their own and are put in a bubble that shelters them to the outside world's harm and harsh realities....drugs used often Urban Dictionary

A school that you go live at, gives a good impression on paper but you really come out of it a little gayer because it is a 4 year slumber party with your best friends. Also, you learn really how to beat the system and evade getting in trouble rather than learning any actual school and come to realize that dip is the only way to relieve your stress and can be complimented by a late night shower at 2 am. (I went to boarding school and this was daily routine) Urban Dictionary

Same essential mistake, only taking up four times as much of the day. Also a place that tries four times as hard to take the credit when a former student takes over his daddy's job. Urban Dictionary

Horrible place where you have to be in bed at ten, the best thing to do is smoke in the wood and where most of you time is spent figuring out how many days before you can go home for your exeat (a weekend you get in between Half-Terms) but wait there's more, in the lent and summer term you don't get any exeats at all! How great! Ahh, the British boarding school, a fun place of freezing cold dorms and bitchy girls. And don't forget the best part, most of them are single sex schools so we get great socials (discos) with the opposite sex, which are awkward. They're also filled with sloanes (upper class/ Upper Middle class Brits who enjoy cruising down the kings road) who call someone a chav(lower classes, likes wearing faux Burberry) at any possible time. Yep, you just have to love snobs who don't understand anything beyond their own nose. Urban Dictionary
