A secondary co-educational boarding school which takes all those who were not accepted to Phillips Academy Andover and pretends like they are better. The Exonian student body is made up of pompous, unhappy, and boring individuals with an average amount of school pride, only because of their odd sense of horrific and over-competetive rivalry. They tend to sneak around slipping in snide comments about how their school is number one, when everyone knows that Andover is better, has been here longer, and has no weird obsession with the "Harkness table." In all honesty, Exeter is a fine school, but so is Andover and many of the Andover - Exeter kids are actually friends, and there are even some Andover-Exeter families, but there are some Exonians who take the rivalry too seriously and are overly mean and aggressive. In conclusion, Exeter is fine, sure, it'll get you somewhere but Andover will always be number one.

Get the Phillips Exeter Academy mug.A school that wishes it were as free and liberal as Andover. It resorts to picking on its traditional rival Andover, but with much greater frequency and viciousness than Andover picks on Exeter. That's because Exeter is insecure about itself, and so it hates Andover. But Andover really couldn't give two cents about Exeter.
Exeter sudent: "Hey, it's a dude from Bendover! Hey, your water polo team sucks, we beat you this year!"

Get the Exeter mug.A boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire known for going out and tipping cows over on the weekend because they have nothing better to do. Jealous of Phillips Andover Academy, which has a lower acceptance rate, better academics, a better football record, a larger campus, a better hockey team, and two US presidents (Exeter has one, but it was over 100 years ago). Known for choking themselves with their ties.

Get the Exeter mug.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.
