Five-night boarders and seven-night boarders follow the same schedules and have the same responsibilities. Five night boarders generally live within two hours of our MA campus and and have the additional flexibility of being able to go home for a night or two many weekends. Their families are also closer to campus if something comes up and need assistance with shopping, appointments, or an emergency of some sort. However, many of the five night boarding students spend one or both weekend nights on campus to participate in arts, athletics, or other events – or just to be with their friends.
