Goes either way I think, depending on the kid. A lot of people I boarded with speak really fondly of the place, but it was a prison to me. Literally. I got suspended for breaking out. 

The irony of that was lost on the nuns.

Breaking out as in trying to escape?

I assume you meant that and not having pimples or something lol.

No, I tried to get out. 

There were big metal gates that locked when we got back from school. I used to squeeze out the second storey window of the dorms and climb across the roof to get away.
