Review of Tilton school

My daughter had an injury that occurs her freshman year essentially ending her basketball career. So as a senior now it is time to reconstruct the ligaments that were damaged.

Due to not playing basketball anymore, as a junior we decided to switch her status from boarding to day student. Our tuition did not change which was unfortunate but accepted.

With recovery taking 6 weeks in a cast and hence not being able to drive and my schedule not allowing me to transport her back and forth (leave for work at 5 am and call 3 nights a week) we asked the school to accommodate her staying on campus for that time. Since I was still paying boarding price I really did not think it would warrant the response I received.

Many options were given but the one that was foremost in my brain was that we pay an additional $2000 to cover her boarding costs. Day students are allowed to eat all three meals there and to shower etc. so what exactly would this extra $2000 cover I cannot wrap my brain around.
