St. Andrew's-Sewanee School is is very xenophobic and prejudiced against international students. SAS keeps saying that they will not harass students based on origins or races, but it is not true. SAS harasses international students by limitting their freedom. SAS inhibits international students to hang around, or become friends with each other, and to use their native languages. SAS disregards the identity of foreigners and does not treat them respectfully. Besides the harassment by the school, the environment is also very bad for international students. The community is too small, the location is too inconvenient, exclusive atmosphere, the majority force their values on others, underhanded harassment, no comprehension of minorities, some students are extremely mean and rude, some radical racists, etc. SAS is not a right place for international students. I would never recommend this school to non-native English speakers. ...read more

I went to SAS in the late 1990's. At that time, the school was very xenophobic and discriminatory against international students. The school limited the freedom of international students. For example, the school told international students not to hang around with each other, and not to use their native languages. Some teachers even puniched international students for becoming friends with each other and tried to separate their friendships. The school had such an insane policy. The school was very disrespectful to international students. If this kind of thing happens in my home country, it will be considered as violation of human rights. When I was a student there, I always felt as if I were a slave of the school. The school keps saying that they will not harass students based on origins or races, but it is not true. The school was actually bullying international students. If you are a foreigner, this is not a right place. I would never recommend this school to non-English speakers. ...read more
