the phrase " just be cringey, go and make the memories. you would treasure these memories for life" is such a good prospect i honestly LOVE it, it make me think about things in a different way

Nearly school Yr how r u?

[@SunooAndHisHourGlass]

One of the things im still really worried about when going to boarding school is the social aspect of it. Im a fellow introvert as well lol

[@racheltong]

yeahh the social aspect is rly scary and tiring but with the right group of people it could be really great!

[@SunooAndHisHourGlass]

Yeah i hope so! Also, i just found ur channel and its been super helpful! @@racheltong

[@sunny-nm3dv]

guys i am 10 years old and going to boarding school in South Korean (I want to go) im scared my parents will be in California and I will be in South Korean how would I go home on the weekends?

[@ThatBreadKid]

what are your pros and cons of boarding school?

[@user-ob4bh4dw8k]

For me: I would say you have a lot of independence and responsibility and creative freedom of how you want to portray yourself without your background or your parents affecting it. You meet a lot of people and have a lot of fun trips, but the cons would be there is a lot of drama and the staff can be quite annoying. Plus it is very easy to get suspended or expelled.

[@racheltong]

@@user-ob4bh4dw8k very true, i absolutely agree with this!!

[@georgelammers4751]

Coool

[@SunooAndHisHourGlass]

This was super helpful! I'm going to a boarding school in Thailand starting year 11. (I still have two years lol)

also are boarding schools like: you drop F bomb i drop go home bomb 😁 because i may or may not cuss irl.. o-o

[@racheltong]

it really depends on the school you’re going to LOL

[@Night_sky556]

I want to go to a boarding school just because I don't like the studying system in my country, so i would be in a whole different country which is a bit stressing for me, so I'm here trying to see if I still want to go or not...

[@racheltong]

there are really a lot of pros & cons, try to think about whether it would be for your best interest because there are so much that comes along with boarding school! hope my video helped in some way

[@zpa13]

hi rachel, curious what age did you start attending boarding sch? in hindsight, would going early or later be better in your opinion?

[@racheltong]

I went when I was 15, going into my sophomore year. in my opinion it would be best to go as a freshman to get the full 4 years of high school. But still, it honestly depends.

[@bernicaa2792]

went when 13, honestly it helps u toughen up and learn to fend for urself but in different cases it can be traumatizing for some ppl, it depends on the person honestly

[@Urfavelani]

Do you have any tips for convincing your parents to go to boarding school

[@racheltong]

ahhh i don’t know your parents so idk if i’m the right person to give advice… but make sure you know why you want to go and show that you are responsible. let them know (either talk to them, write an essay, make a slideshow, etc.) how much you want to go and just pray that the best come out of it …

[@jackramirez7132]

i want to go to boarding school but i can't afford to board is there anyway we can get scholarship to go to one or is there any free schools were you can board (but not with a random family)

[@racheltong]

there are a lot of scholarships and financial aids available in boarding school!!! you’ll just have to apply for it :))

[@jackramirez7132]

@@racheltong Omg thank you so much do you have any boarding schools recommendations? i just can’t seem to find any schools!

[@kratikasahu3536]

Hey I'm from india, I'm about to go to boarding school and I'll have 7 other roommates so I'm quite nervous.. I'm thinking about what if some girls be so mean? Can u give me some advices pls?

[@racheltong]

first of all, good luck!! 7 roommates are definitely going to be tough and there will definitely be mean people. know your worth and remember that people tend to pick on others based on their own insecurities. so instead of feeling bad about yourself, look at the bigger picture and try your best to be kind to others. at least that’s what i try to do myself. wish you all the best!

[@kratikasahu3536]

Oh, wow I'm scared 😅 my parents are sending me to boarding school but I' very scared that's why I'm look at videos like this, so I have so many questions because my parents are just starting the prosses, so I don't even know what boarding school I'm going to 💀

[@racheltong]

don’t be too worried! I will be posting more boarding school related videos in the next few weeks, please reach out to me if you have any questions! I’ll try my best to respond :))
