I think it would have been pretty cool to go to
Shady Side Academy like my younger sister did. However, I probably wasn't smart enough to get in and I was DEFINITELY too lazy to work hard enough to get good grades there.
Not to mention the tuition -- oy! My sister was on full scholarship (no way could my family afford that place), but the tuition back then was around 15K a year. I noticed that the website doesn't even post the tuition now; I guess they adhere to the old saying, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."
Pity though, the boys that went there were really cute
