The Book to Read If You’re Thinkingabout Attending a Boarding School

Written by students for students, The Boarding School Survival Guide offers the inside scoop on boarding school life. Author Justin Muchnick, a student at Phillips Academy Andover, has compiled essays, including his own, covering everything a student who’s considering applying to and attending a boarding school would need to know.

Students share insights about the selection and application process, school visits and re-visits, saying goodbye to family and friends, managing life from academics to sleep, and so much more. It’s all here in The Boarding School Survival Guide in chapters filled with students’ heartfelt honesty, helpfulness, and humor, too!

Justin Muchnick has assembled contributions from more than 20 boarding school students. They’re smart, diverse, witty, and helpful—just like the students I meet on my travels to boarding school campuses … Whether the topic is writing papers or doing laundry, the student authors explain and reassure, caution and encourage … If you’re planning to attend boarding school, considering it, or simply curious, read this book.
