How is boarding school life in the UK and the USA these days


How is boarding school life in the UK and the USA these days?
I'm writing a story set in my mum's school, Westminster, but I feel that not she nor I have enough experience with boarders to write a realistic story. Any simple information, social information, etc., on boarding schools would be adored. (google isn't doing much, LOL.) OHMAHGAAHHH this is EVERYTHING I needed. Thank god. I love you so much. YOU ARE MY SAVIOUR. :D You totally deserve the 10 points you're getting.

I went to a boarding school ( ENGLAND ) I HATED IT ! I lasted a whole term - i think you call them semesters. Wellll basically: There is about 3 -5 people in a dorm You get woken up by your House Mistress ( basically a teacher who acts like a mother figure in the house ) You go down to breakfast with the other boarders - usually something like cold sausages and luke warm milk and cereal. Then you have lessons Then you have break where you eat LOADS OF TOAST :) Then you have more lessons Then you have lunch where you get to socialise with your friends Then at my school we had this thing called carosel which is basically where your divided into groups within your year group and do a random activity that you don't get to choose, e.g fencing, self defence, photography etc. Then you have lessons Then you have sport Then you have dinner Then you have prep - where you do your homework Then you have some free time Then lights out by 9. Eughh i HATED it. It's torture, and you don't get to chose who you share a room with. there is some SERIOUS bitchy ness and it isn't all inocent, people have sex in the chapel YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. eugh grose. :] hope i helped ? a little bit maybe ? x x x
