Well, my name is Alicia and I currently attend Andover. I was accepted to both Exeter and Andover, but I obviously chose Andover. My brother goes to Exeter right now and he tells me that it is very tough and busy there. He tells me at the campus is wonderful though. Exeter is a pretty tough school to go to and it is very stressful too. He says that getting an A is quite impossible. Well, again, I don't quite know about Exeter since I am a current student at Andover. But hope I had helped! -Alicia G
