Tallulah Falls School - Review #1

I attended Tallulah Falls for one year as a day student. This school is unique because there are so many different kinds of people that attend and work there. You have the opportunity to make friends from all over the world. The small size also allows for very close friendships to be made and many become just like family. I only attended my senior year, and even though I did not live on campus, I felt very accepted, and established some life changing friendships.

The best thing, again, would be the friendships. I was also able to be valedictorian of my class. Tallulah Falls helped prepare me for where I am at in school now, studying to become a teacher.

My experience as a day student in a boarding school was wonderful, and I cannot think of anything I would change. If you are going to a boarding school to live or as a day student, just be yourself, be open to the different kinds of people around you, and get involved in something on campus. It is a great way to make friends and find where you will fit in.

The friends I made, my experiences in athletics, and the location of the school. It is in a very beautiful area!

I would recommend joining a sports team, and make sure you go into Tallulah Gorge.

The academics helped me prepare fairly well for college. I enjoyed most of my classes and the teachers. Teachers are very willing to help, and also care about each of their students lives inside and outside of the classroom.

There are definitely plenty of opportunities to get involved in athletics. I had so much fun being on these teams and became very close with all my teammates. Even when we found ourselves going through challenges on the court, we became great friends and had fun times together during and outside of games and practices. Most of my coaches were very caring, hardworking people that wanted to see their athletes achieve.

I spent a year in chorus. The demand in this class was challenging, but we had a lot of fun getting ready for our performances. We were able to travel to Savannah and do a show for the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs.

Annual school trips like the tubing trip to Deep Creek and the ski trip to Cataloochee were some fun and enjoyable trips that I went on. The meetings we had with FCA were also good as we would meet with other schools, attended a concert, and did community service together.

I was a day student, but became very good friends with many of the students that boarded at the school.

I enjoyed the homemade meals served in the beautiful dining hall. The dining hall ladies worked very hard to provide us with delicious food.

I lived near the small town in the surrounding area. There are a lot of good outdoor activities like the lakes, waterfalls, Tallulah gorge, and hiking. Shopping trips have to be taken closer to Atlanta.

I loved my year spent at Tallulah Falls School because of the friendships I made with the students and teachers. Many of these people are like family to me, and now that I have moved onto college I miss them so much! Some of the most fun times I have had were spent with my friends from TFS.
