Student life at Buxton reflects a sense of family and community. Most students attending Buxton live on campus. Girls live in the Main House and the Gate House; the Barn is home to the boys. Roommates are assigned at the beginning of the school year. Three times a year thereafter, students choose new roommates and change rooms. Room Change is an exciting time for all. This tradition gives students the experience of living closely with many different people while at Buxton.

Faculty members live either in apartments in the dorms or with their families in houses on campus and are always available to students.

Meals are prepared by a chef trained at the New England Culinary Institute and his staff. Lunch and dinner are family style, served in the dining room of the Main House. Faculty members have assigned tables and students choose where they want to sit. Student waiters serve, bus, and clean their designated tables.


Although the dress is casual much of the time, Sunday nights, the All-School Trip, and other special occasions do require more formal attire such as jacket and tie for the boys and dresses or slacks for the girls.

Health services are provided by the Williamstown Medical Associates. A nurse is present on campus every weekday morning to check on students who are ill, provide medicines, and help schedule doctors' appointments. An annual physical exam is required.
