Second Home is the rare book that offers readers a true overview of life in America's boarding schools. Whether from a teacher or student, this collection of essays discusses everything from making friends to meals and chapel to art class. This is a book for those interested in applying to boarding school or for those interested in the various opportunities that exist in an institution as old as the nation. This is a fine piece of work.
An uninspiring collection of essays on present day life in American Boarding Schools. The book aims to follow in the footsteps of a number of distinguished paens to life in the English Public Schools. A surfeit of realism and an excess of youthful sincerity robs the essays of all interest. The result is a compendium neither erudite nor amusing. A sort of Lonely Planet Guide to boarding schools - except less informative. Do give it a pass.
