As a boarder in Hathaway my freshman year, and a day student my sophomore and junior year, several people have asked me which Milton experience I like better. Living in Hathaway freshman year was an amazing experience. I loved every aspect of it, whether it was eating dinner together as a dorm, sleeping in later, or having 40 potential sisters and several close dorm parents. Leaving the dorm after my freshman year was one of the hardest things I have done during my time at Milton; however, I have grown accustomed to and greatly appreciate being a day student. Being either a boarder or day student has both its pros and cons. As a boarder, there are lights out, two-hour study halls every night, blue cards, and other restrictions, yet the sense of community and lifelong bonds are what make being a boarding student so wonderful. As a day student, the constant shuttling back and forth, waking up early, and the inability to go to back to the dorm during the day are all detriments; the benefits, however, include a larger dose of freedom, sleeping in your own bed every night, and having an unlimited supply of food. Although significantly different, boarder life and day student life are equally balanced. Together, both communities help create a unique high school experience.
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
