Each state of the United States has hundreds of different schools.
             These schools include public and private institutions of varying size and
             culture. For many, going to one school is a gift. I am fortunate enough
             to have attended 2 schools in different parts of the country. Fairfield
             College Prep in Connecticut was my school of choice for my freshman and
             sophomore years. Jesuit College Prep turned out to be my final High School
             for my remaining 2 years. Although Fairfield College Prep and Jesuit
             College Prep seem similar in many ways, they are really very different.
            
             Fairfield Prep and Jesuit Prep are both Jesuit affiliated schools.
             Several Jesuit teachers are spread out amongst classes taught at each
             school. These Jesuit influences, of both schools, follow the main goal to
             teach the students and attempt to make learning interesting, while keeping
             a Christian attitude in all that they teach. Both schools are private
             institutions, which the Jesuit community leads. This Jesuit community in
             each school requires a strict dress code of a tie, shirt, slacks, and nice
             shoes. This dress code is active for all the 800 student bodies of each
             school. Both student bodies consist only of boys ranging from about 14-18
             years of age.
            
             However, the environment of each school are very different. Jesuit
             Prep provides a warm learning environment by vividly decorating each wall
             throughout the school with paintings and works of art to share culture with
             the student body. Fairfield Prep students must look at the usual drab
             colors of an off-white based paint that showers the walls of each main
             building. Each building of Fairfield contains hundreds of lockers, each
             with a lock protecting each locker. Fairfield's padlock security scheme
             does not exist within the Jesuit Prep community, as each locker is bare
             with no locks or locking devices anywhere in sight.
