12. 如何为新生选择室友和寝室?

13. 安多佛的规则和纪律方面的政策是什么？
学生若因诚信问题或人际的冒犯行为而严重影响到其他个人或集体的利益，或有多次违反校方规定而被认为无视学校要求的,都将可能导致被开除。安多佛特别留意处理有关酒精饮品以及非法毒品等禁品的问题。所有入校新生将获得一本有关学校规章制度的蓝皮书并要求负责任地去了解里面的内容并遵从里面的规则。
14. 学生的安全是安多佛优先考虑的问题吗？
菲利普斯学院的公共安全专员们每周7天、每天24小时都会值班。他们会开车，骑自行车或者步行等在校区巡逻, 以确保安多佛学生的安全，每栋宿舍楼都从外面锁上，而且每栋寝室的房间都有单独的锁。由于采取这些周密的预防措施，安多佛校区里的安全问题一直都控制在最小的范围内。
15. 安多佛学生如何解决洗衣问题？

如果学生家庭每年纯收入低于30000美金及而且/或该费用支出将给学生家庭带来困难，那么学生应当向菲利普斯学院招生办处要求获得申请费的减免。如果想要获得申请费减免，那么需要熟悉学生家庭经济状况的第三方（咨询顾问，牧师，中学校长等）代表学生家庭给招生办写信解释该学生家庭的经济状况。如果招生办需要获得更多的信息，那么他们会自行联系学生的家人。

12. How are roommates and dorms chosen for new students?
In the spring after a student's acceptance and matriculation, he or she will receive a roommate questionnaire, which asks about preferences, habits, and activities. Over the summer, the Dean of Students and the admission committee collaborate and make roommate and housing assignments based on the information provided.
13. What is Andover's policy on rules and discipline?
Offenses involving a student's integrity, social offenses that threaten the well-being of other individuals or the school community, or continued infractions that indicate an unwillingness to come to terms with the demands of the school all may lead to dismissal. Andover takes special care to address issues associated with alcohol and illegal drugs, both of which are forbidden. All incoming students receive a copy of the school's rules, published in The Blue Book, and are responsible for knowing and complying with its contents.
14. Is student safety a priority at Andover?
Phillips Academy Public Safety (PAPS) officers are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They patrol the campus in cars, by bicycle, and on foot to ensure the safety of Andover students. Every dormitory is locked from the outside and each dorm room has an individual lock. As a result of these precautionary measures, issues of security on the Andover campus are kept to a minimum.
15. How do Andover students do their laundry?
Andover students may use the coin-operated washing machines and dryers located in each dorm to wash their own clothes, or they may sign up for the E&R laundry service, which returns cleaned, ironed, and folded clothes to students once a week.

Registration for these tests is handled through the respective testing agencies. Please note: Late registration charges, which are substantial, are not covered by the fee waiver. It is important to refer to the student guides for the SSAT or ISEE to determine the test dates, times and sites in your area and to encourage the student to meet the stated deadlines.
A fee waiver should be requested from the Phillips Academy Admission Office if the student's family gross income falls below $30,000 and/or the family believes payment of these fees will create a hardship. To request a fee waiver, a third party, who is familiar with the family's financial situation (a guidance counselor, clergyman, principal, etc.) should write to the Admission Office on behalf of the family to explain the hardship. The Admission Office will contact the family if further information is necessary.
For further information or to request a fee waiver please contact the Admission Office at 978-749-4050 or at admissions@andover.edu.
