“
Exonians
traditionally drop
“the” when referring
to their snackbar.
You’ll get used to
hearing “Let’s go to
Grill” really
quickly.
Help just rushes at you as soon as you get to Exeter. Our first day the seniors took us
around campus and showed us our rooms . . . my proctor taught me the Exeter lexicon
and saved me from the awkward things I would have done . . . like say, ‘the Grill.’ ”

Upperclassmen naturally rise to the role of mentors. They live in the
dorms with you, help you navigate challenges, and give you the inside
scoop on teachers and traditions. Student proctors are a special group
who join the faculty leadership in the dorms. Proctors lead by example
and help foster an inclusive and supportive community.
