I moved here sophmore year and fit in pretty fast. Teachers are nice but dont actually teach the material well. I suggest playing sports to make friends. Also there is rarely homework which is very nice but does not prepare well for college.

They forced me out of a comfortable environment, despite the fact that I was a straight A student and we'll behaved. I...
