A large and prestigious boarding school in Andover, MA. The school has needs-blind admissions and all are accepted on their own merits, not ability of parents to pay.
The school is huge: five different residential clusters, with five different Disciplinary Committees. In recent years the new Head of School has led a charge towards Political Correctness. So the most popular campus pastime is playing “I’m not privileged.” This is ironic at a school that only accepts one of eight applicants and has nearly a billion dollar endowment.
The school emphasizes that students have to be “Nice.” This is offset by faculty who barely know the kids. It’s the same old “Sink or Swim,” School that it’s been for 250 years, with a new Politically Correct face.

Philips are amazing boys, the type that every girl wants. They’re usually blonde or dirty-blonde haired, with really big brown eyes. But no matter how they look, something about them drags the girls to them. They’re exceptionally good singers and are really athletic. They are kind, caring, and the perfect boyfriend. Often they’re vertically challenged (short) but that shouldn’t stop any girl from liking him any less. What are you waiting for? Go out and get yourself a Philip!!
Girl 1: OMG did you see that boy?!? The really cute one, with the big brown eyes and blonde hair???
Girl 2: oh ya, he must be a Philip

Andrew is a beautiful person inside and out, he may have a rough time through life and be a little tough around the edges but hes is one amazing guy, you know those kinds of guys, that you have to break walls down and dig holes in the ground for, he's one of those guys, and I'd give anything to hang out with him. He's musical, and talented in many different ways. Makes the sunshine in the darkest times, and goes through things just as everyone else does, but he pulls through and gets right back up, not staying down.
