Prospective students shouldn’t be worried about making friends, and definitely shouldn’t be worried about not getting used to things. There are prefects and dorm parents to help you, and students from all over the world wanting to make friends with you.

I love being a boarding student because, even though you are far from your family, friendship helps you a lot here. We are all together after school. We do activities together at the dorm, in the evenings we watch movies and chat. I have friends from almost all nationalities, learn new cultures, and am making friends that I will always stay in touch with in the future.

Being so far from what you have called home for so long is definitely not easy. However, boarding at Rabun Gap is definitely worth all the challenges that the process of boarding brings with it. Those obstacles not only helped me explore parts of myself that I was never aware of, but also helped me bond with the people I call my second family now.
