EXETER IS
YOUR HOME,
whether you live on campus or commute
here every day. From the moment you arrive,
you join a community of friends, coaches,
teachers and their families.
At Exeter, we take a different approach to living at school.
The first people you meet here are returning students, waiting to
show you around. Boarders live in the same dorm until they graduate,
which creates a smaller family within the community, generates
house pride and deepens friendships across classes. Older students
and dorm proctors take on the mantle of welcoming and guiding new
students, becoming older siblings and mentors. Additional support,
and the occasional home-cooked meal, is available from instructors
who live on campus.
Day students feel like they live on campus, too. They stay late for
rehearsals, sports practices, music lessons or to study with friends in
the library. Day students have sleepovers in the dorms, and return
the favor in their homes on weekends and school breaks.
