Boarding school is a wicked thing.

I have a theory that if you've got the kind of parents who want to send you to boarding school, you're probably better off at boarding school.

At boarding school there wasn't much time for much of anything except education.

I think boarding school does give you an independence.

Having your adolescence at an all-male boarding school is just crap.

Being at boarding school in the pre-internet era, especially a boarding school tucked away in the Oxfordshire countryside, was like being in a cocoon. You had your own life; world events happened elsewhere.

Besides, I think that when one has been through a boarding school, especially then, you have some resistance, because it was both fine comradeship and a fairly hard training.

The huge advantage of boarding school is that it throws you into the social fire. Every social interaction I've had since then has been a million times easier. Literally, ever since then, it's all been child's play.

It was tough going to boarding school. It was very hard work.

The only place I considered home was the boarding school in Yorkshire my parents sent me to. It's easier, isn't it? I mean, it gets kids out the way, doesn't it?
