dana hall 

A small boarding and day school outside of Boston, Dana Hall is a prestigious all-girls school located in Wellesley, MA. A large population of the school consists of day students, which is different from its roots as an all-boarding school. While Dana Hall can be a tough environment for those who aren't ready to live by themselves or be exposed to the behavior of old and new money wealthy (and less wealthy, albeit a smaller population of this catagory exists) girls that are pushed academically and socially - it often results in mature young women who learn a lot about the world through their time at the school. Being a boarder is definitly harder than being a day student but at the same time friendships are made in either situation that will last a lifetime. The traditions are the most meaningful and memorable experiences most girls will have while at Dana Hall and the students often fight against the administration to keep them in existance.

Dana Hall was traditionally started as a prep school for Wellesley College and ties with the university are now unofficial but still exist on lesser terms. The school was founded in 1881 and continues to foster life-long bonds and memories in its successful students.

Dana Hall 

A wonderful, private all-girls located in Wellesley MA. It is fairly academically challenging, with a lot of emphasis on close friendships and sports. Although it does have a bad reputation, hardly any of the the girls come close to these stereotypes. It is a wonderful place to grow academically, physically and socially.
I've heard the academics at dana hall were fairly challening
dana hall student It's true!

Dana Hall 

A preppy allgirls school in Wellesley Massachusetts where 4 out of 5 girls are wearing uggs and/or northface jackets every day. Most of the girls are rich and they don't hide it. The day students are usually the rich ones who dress nice (i donno who they want to impress but they claim to be straight). The boarders are more laid back and don't care as much about money and material shit. Alot of the girls are fake and have fake frienships. The classes are hard and it's a very stressful school. At the same time, students get in trouble alot. Poor kids can get kicked out for anything bad. But if you have money you're usually safe. That's how life works though. Dana Hall is a reality check for the boarders and poor kids. But the rest will have to face reality later in life. Dana Hall is the worst and the best times of your life.
1.) Dana Girl to girl #1: Hi sweetie! No legit...your uggs are sooo cute! Luv ya!
Dana Girl to girl #2: omg i hate that bitch...her uggs arent even real.

Dana hall 

An all girls private boarding/day school. It gets a bad rep because people assume that all the girls are rich bratty sluts. A popular theory of why people think and say that is they're a)petty b)jealous c)bigoted because of something that happened to someone else d)trying to make themselves feel better.
Dana has a widely varied curriculum, small class sizes, and many opportunities other schools do not offer. There is a large center for sports, called the Shipley Center, a riding rink,and nice library. While there are some bitchy and slutty girls, there are just as many if not more nice girls. And if you'll recall, no school is perfect, I'm sure there are just as many sluts at your school.....if not more
boy 1:"dude look over there! it's a Dana Hall girl! lets like ask her to have sex with us!"
boy2:"totally dude!"

to girl:
"hey you go to dana right?wanna have sex with us?"
to boys:
"No um 1)i don't know you 2)thats a gross stereotype and 3)i have better things to do, sorry."

Dana Hall School 

A high school in Wellesley, MA that started as a boarding school but is now about 60% day students and being a boarder there is generally not recommended because DH is really not a place where you want to spend 24/7, what with the constant supervision, strict rules, mediocre food, and bitchy girls. It is a pretty good school academically, though probably not as good as their rival school Windsor. However, the arts programs and athletic facilities are amazing and there is even an equestrian center with several riding rings and a stable. A lot of the boarding students are international, and DH is actually pretty diverse, though perhaps not when it comes to socioeconomic status. Let's be real, most of the girls there are loaded but it doesn't mean everyone is spoiled. Every once in a while you can spot a rogue minivan in a sea of BMWs. One of the best parts of Dana Hall is the traditions, which are really fun and a great way for grades to bond with each other. The worst part is the admi

nistration - they are extremely rigid, uptight, nit picky, harsh, and just downright annoying. The most recent development is an intense crack down on dress code and hyper-vigilance of short lengths. If you aren't on their radar you will be fine but once they have you marked out as a "bad one" you better hope your parents are paying full tuition.

I am so happy I graduated and escaped from Dana Hall School... shout out to the DH college counseling office though they are amazing
I graduated from Dana Hall School with an excellent education and an acceptance to my top-choice college (shout out to the amazing college counsellors) but I was really excited to get out of there. It is a very difficult environment but if you survive you will be a stronger person I guess
