A: Imagine a third-world country in the middle of a civil war that is subject to a hostile alien invasion and overcome by communicable diseases. Now, imagine your child is J-walking in that country. That’s the opposite of Andover. Q: What is a typical day like at Andover? A: Well, most students start by sleeping 15 or so minutes into their first class. After leisurely strolling into the class, a student will most likely begin to fantasize about a life not consumed by hours of work. Once all hopes of escaping this learning environment have subsided, students will actually pretend to learn stuff. Q: Is their a dress code at Andover? A: Naw, dawg. Q: What is their to do on weekends? A: Students are provided with a myriad of activities in which they can both have fun and remain pure from the modern rebellious tendencies of today’s youth.

A: This question can be best answered with another question: How the hell do you think every other person in the world does their freakin’ laundry? Soap, water, the whole shebang.
