Best Books Set in Boarding Schools

aulsmith : I don't remember that much being in a boarding school.

CurrerBell: Only chapters five through nine (and to a degree also chapter ten) are the "boarding school chapters" at Lowood Institute, but they are so very memorable for Helen Burns (Charlotte's memorialization of her deceased eldest sister, Maria) as well as the villainous character of Miss Scatcherd. Far more realistic than anything Dickens ever did!

CurrerBell : Jervis creeps me out -- he's a stalker!

merrystar : This is set at a college (university), not boarding school

merrystar : I adore this book, but it is set at an orphanage, not a boarding school

thorold: Set in a school, but mostly about the teachers and their families
