I went to boarding school (albeit as a day girl) and I'm no longer in touch with ANY of my friends from there. Partly due to lack of effort on my part, but equally as much from them. I guess we just weren't that close in the end.

Boarding school can help forge really close friendships sometimes. But it can also lead to a LOT of bitching, horrible fall-outs and fake friendships. It's not all roses.

basically it is different from person to person
I do feel that a lot of times people don't put in enough effort, which would, most of the times, mean that they were not close enough to begin with

works for me.
school does not last all day
I moved to france away from all of my friends a couple of years ago. Before i went my best friend and me were practically inseperable and it was sad having to leave. We wrote to each other all the time and phoned all the time, I went and visited and sent a big box of presents over at christmas. It definitely worked. It just depends on how much you want to stay in touch with them. If you put the effort in, then you'll be fine. I moved back home (loooooooooong story) and somehow maraculously moved back to my old school, where all my friends were still my friends... :biggrin:
