A period of time in which boarders are expected to complete their homework. Often broken into 1st prep (doors/curtains open) and 2nd prep (where you can have a little more privacy). At around 8 or 8:30 there is a half an hour intermission called Supper which is also the time for teeth brushing and changing into night clothes.
Prep for a typical Yr 11 would begin after Dinner (Tea) at 7pm, stop at 8:30pm for Supper and resume at 9pm. Lights would go out at 10:30pm.
During prep there is to be total silence, and to work with another person you must ask for permission first. Boarding staff patrol the area.

Unlike most of the definitons on Urban Dictionary making the REAL definition of prep, this was made to give definitions of how people USE the term.
A prep is a snobby, rich, "pretty" (although most of them are ass-hideous and just think that they're beautiful), girl whom will later get implants because she's an AA cup and is jealous of all the other non-prep girls in her school. She thinks that the school revolves around her, and her "friends" aren't really her friends, they just follow her around because they want to be preps too. It's all a useless chain and they think that the whole school loves them when really everybody hates them for how full of themselves they really are.
If your dream is to be a prep, get ready to be hated by all of the school, not because they're jealous of you, but because of what a low-life bitch you really are.

The preps commonly shop at Vineyard Vines, Lily Pulitzer, Ralp Lauren, L.L Bean, etc. As the stereo-type, preps are viewed as " snobby ", " wealthy ", and " dumb ". However, there are some people who prefer to buy preppy clothes and be a prep, but can be kind and intelligent. Preps are also viewed as shallow, and have no class. However, again, there are preps with an acception who have a good heart, class, and intelligence. Preps always take action in some sort of sport, commonly football, cheerleading and soccer. When you are preppy, your most likely to be very social and have a high status of popularity. Preps usuallly don't pay attention to the emo,rock, or punk crowd. They as well don't have a taste in anime, rock/metal, or for example TØP or MCR. Preps have a fun, social and happy personality. As well as being popular, or well known in school. Not all preps are snooty or shallow, or have no class.

Preps are annoying loud things who shop only at mainstream brand name stores such as hollister,listen only to mainstream music such as justin bieber,one direction,miley cyrus,nicki minaj,and other crappy pop and rap music. Preppy girls usually wear very revealing outfits such as shorts so short that they might as well be under wear,shirts that show their belly and tits (if they even have any) and they usually have fake tans which looks stupid as fuck they also wear more makeup than their actual skin and oftenly bleach their hair blond unless they are naturally blond (but there are brunette preps to). And then the guys usually wear pants lowly to show their boxers thinking it looks gangster but in reality they look retarded,they usually have snap backs and,and usually look like black wannabes. Preps are very narrow minded as they usually hate and bully people such as goths,nerds,emos,metal heads,gays and scene kids for being different than them selves preps only like mainstream due to the fact that they are brain washed by the media,the media says something is cool,prep sees,prep thinks its cool. Preps are also the most annoying,unintelligent and retarded types of people to live and are basically the down fall of society.

It was safe to say that Emma and Jack were preps, because Emma used a Brooks tie for a belt and Jack was obsessed with baseball.

(This is all I know about preps from what I've heard about them). Preps are people that like pop music, especially Justin Bieber and One Direction. They only like designer clothes, accessories, anything that's pink with a "cute" pattern such as animal print, polka dots, etc. They like anything that sparkles and spend most of their time at cheerleading practice, on their electronics on Twitter cyberbullying people based on their labels and hanging out with their preppy friends. Since most preps have been bullies, they get a lot of hate, of course. Preps hate nerds, geeks, emos, goths but they love other preps and jocks.

A person who is completely and utterly EVIL. Usually wealthier than the average peon, and just plain old annoying and mean. They are usually considered the "popular" group and everyone hates them because they're always fake. They talk about everybody, even their own friends. Most likely, preps are the ones making fun of the "scenes", "emos", "indies", "hipsters", and everyone who's NOT a prep.
I've never met a "good" prep in my entire life.

Girl 1: Oh, she's a popular girl, isn't she?
Girl 2: Yeah. She's a prep. She runs the school, makes fun of everybody, and will make this school a living hell. We try to stay away from her.
Girl 1: Does she know that people hate her so much?
Girl 2: Probably not, everyone here's fake and pretend to be her friend.
