andover's biggest rival. more a traditional type of boarding school, and known for its "harkness method". although the harkness method may be a different approach to learning, it is actually not that different from any other classroom with the same amount of students. the only reason exeter ends up having smart kids is because...well, 1) they only pick out the smart, driven kids for admission, and 2) they pressure their kids to almost the point of suicide. but most who survive, no doubt, go to nice colleges and enter intellectually challenging careers. well, if you're not one of those slackers that gets drunk and hooks up with those blondes from greenwich.
dan brown went to exeter.

"My son is applying to Andover, but it's so competitive to get into that we need an easy back-up. Exeter seems perfect for this."

An academic institute in the South West of England. Inhabited by many 'rahs' and Oxbridge rejects. Attempt to befriend Holland Hall residents, they could buy you things with Daddy's credit card. Many of the norms hang out at La Frowda and Moberly. Tracksuit bottoms and flip-flops are worn even in the coldest winter months around campus, these are particularly worn by students originating from Cambridge. Beware of getting Exeter mixed up with Surrey, most of the middle-class youngsters of Surrey have travelled for miles in a first class carriage to attend this institute.
"You're going to Exeter University?"
"Well yes, Oxford isn't ready for me yet, besides they do have a Hollister and Jack Wills so I can wear my fortune" - typical rah

A private school in Devonshire attended only by loaded pricks. They got the money, they haven't got the brains (apart from the autistic kids).
-Damn, I thought Exeter School kids were supposed to be smart, I heard one of them fell in a drain last week.
-Sounds about white.

Phillips Exeter Academy is a boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire of approximately 1,000 students. Regarded as the most prestigious high school in the country, most notably for academics, Phillips Exeter Academy is renowned worldwide for its unique teaching method, “The Harkness Table.” The principal is based off the idea that the students are of such a high intellect that they are able to teach each other, and thus the teacher of the class simply acts as a moderator for the brilliant discussion which occurs. In simpler terms, the students are so smart they teach themselves and don’t need a teacher to tell them what to do.
Students of PEA, known as Exonians, have an infamous rivalry with the students of Phillips Academy Andover, another East coast boarding school. Founded a few years earlier and with a slightly larger student body, Andover is normally considered the age old back up, or “safety school” to Exeter. There are many examples of the clashing between the two. Exeter Red/Andover Blue Exeter wins football, basketball, track…/Andover wins hockey Exeter accepts the most brilliant minds of the world/Andover accepts George W. Bush
In essence, Exeter is the school for the distinctive minds of the United States and beyond. Unfortunately, Andover, and many of the East coast boarding schools, remain places for the children of the pompous rich to attend and survive on the graces of their parents. Exeter alumni continue to make innumerable contributions to ...

the world, be it donating a stadium to a lesser school such as Andover, or something as simple as the environmental contributions of alumnus Gifford Pinchot.
My son applied to Phillips Exeter Academy but was not accepted. So we’ll just end up sending him to Andover. I hope he doesn't come out too screwd up.
The boy, described as “apish, moronic, alcoholic, and masturbated too often,” was a graduate of Phillips Academy Andover. While enjoying his birthday present of a position as “President of the United States,” he choked on a pretzel and was sent to the finest hospital in the land where an Exeter doctor watched over him
